Subject: [PATCH v6 18/19] gfs2: Fix mmap + page fault deadlocks for direct I/O

Also disable page faults during direct I/O requests and implement the
same kind of retry logic as in the buffered I/O case.

Direct I/O requests differ from buffered I/O requests in that they use
bio_iov_iter_get_pages for grabbing page references and faulting in
pages instead of triggering physical page faults.  Those manual page
faults can be disabled with the new iocb->nofault flag.

This kind of locking problem in gfs2 was originally reported by Jan
Kara.  Linus came up with the proposal to disable page faults.  Many
thanks to Al Viro and Matthew Wilcox for their feedback.
