Subject: NFS: Fix two bugs in the O_DIRECT write code

Do not flag an error if the COMMIT call fails and we decide to resend the
writes. Let the resend flag the error if it fails.

If a write has failed, then nfs_direct_write_result should not attempt to
send a commit. It should just exit asap and return the error to the user.
