Subject: [PATCH 4.6 052/203] pnfs_nfs: fix _cancel_empty_pagelist

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

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

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

commit 5e3a98883e7ebdd1440f829a9e9dd5c3d2c5903b upstream.

pnfs_generic_commit_cancel_empty_pagelist calls nfs_commitdata_release,
but that is wrong: nfs_commitdata_release puts the open context, something
that isn't valid until nfs_init_commit is called, which is never the case
when pnfs_generic_commit_cancel_empty_pagelist is called.

This was introduced in "nfs: avoid race that crashes nfs_init_commit".
