Description of problem:
Since RHEL5.1 GA there has been a number of  oops and memory leaks the 
have been found in the upstream kernel. This bz will combine all 
of the found issue into one jumbo patch. 

Here is the list of bugs that have been fixed:

NFS Exclusive open not supported bug

When trying to open a file with the O_EXCL flag over NFS on a server that does
not support exclusive mode, the file does not open.  The reason,
rpc_call_sync returns a errno number, and not the nfs error number.  I fixed
it by changing the status check in nfs3proc.c.  Either this is how it should
be fixed, or rpc_call_sync should be fixed to return the NFS error.

NLM: Fix double free in __nlm_async_call

rpc_call_async() will always call rpc_release_calldata(), so it is an
error for __nlm_async_call() to do so as well.

NFSv4: Fix Oops in nfs4_create_referral_server

The filehandle that is passed into nfs4_create_referral_server is
not initialised. The expectation is that nfs4_create_referral_server will
initialise it, and return it to the caller.

NFS: Fix a readdir/lookup inefficiency.

Make sure that nfs_readdir_lookup() handles negative dentries correctly.
If d_lookup() returns a negative dentry, then we need to d_drop() that
since readdir shows that it should be positive.

NFS: Also use readdir info to revalidate positive dentries

If the fileid of the cached dentry fails to match that returned by
the readdir call, then we should also d_drop. Try to take into account the
fact that on NFSv4, readdir may return the "mounted_on_fileid" by looking
for submounts.

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.

NFS: Fix handful of compiler warnings in direct.c

This patch fixes a couple of signage issues that were causing an Oops
when running the LTP diotest4 test. get_user_pages() returns a signed
error, hence we need to be careful when comparing with the unsigned
number of pages from data->npages.

NFS: Fix nfs_direct_dirty_pages()

We only need to dirty the pages that were actually read in.

Also convert nfs_direct_dirty_pages() to call set_page_dirty() instead of
set_page_dirty_lock(). A call to lock_page() is unacceptable in an rpciod
callback function.

NFS: Fix a refcount leakage in O_DIRECT

The current code is leaking a reference to dreq->kref when the calls to
nfs_direct_read_schedule() and nfs_direct_write_schedule() return an
error.
This patch moves the call to kref_put() from nfs_direct_wait() back into
nfs_direct_read() and nfs_direct_write() (which are the functions that
actually took the reference in the first place) fixing the leak.

Thanks to Denis V. Lunev for spotting the bug and proposing the original
fix.
