Subject: [093/264] pnfsblock: fix writeback deadlock

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peng Tao <bergwolf@...il.com>

commit 7542274519b3ba87555410c66e8356ac1e3bc9b3 upstream.

We should check if the sector is already initialized before
trying to grab the page from page cache. Otherwise when two
pages of the same block are written back by two threads each
calling from writepage_locked, it can cause deadlock like bellow.
