cd52ed3553 NFS: Avoid races between writebacks and truncation
Currently, there is no serialisation between NFS asynchronous writebacks
and truncation at the page level due to the fact that nfs_sync_inode()
cannot lock the pages that it is about to write out.

This means that it is possible to be flushing out data (and calling something
like set_page_writeback()) while the page cache is busy evicting the page.
Oops...

Use the hooks provided in try_to_release_page() to ensure that dirty pages
are always written back to storage before we evict them.

c6a556b88a [PATCH] NFS: Make searching and waiting on busy writeback requests more efficient.
Basically copies the VFS's method for tracking writebacks and applies
 it to the struct nfs_page.

464a98bd70 [PATCH] NFS: cleanup: shrink struct nfs_open_context
Remove the wait queue, and replace the functions that depended on it
 with wait_on_bit().

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
