Subject: [PATCH 4.5 097/128] nfs: avoid race that crashes nfs_init_commit

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

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

From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@...key.org>

commit ade8febde0271513360bac44883dbebad44276c3 upstream.

Since the patch "NFS: Allow multiple commit requests in flight per file"
we can run multiple simultaneous commits on the same inode.  This
introduced a race over collecting pages to commit that made it possible
to call nfs_init_commit() with an empty list - which causes crashes like
the one below.

The fix is to catch this race and avoid calling nfs_init_commit and
initiate_commit when there is no work to do.

Here is the crash:
