Trond Myklebust 64a93dbf25 NFS: Fix deadlocks in nfs_scan_commit_list()
Partially revert commit 2ce209c42c ("NFS: Wait for requests that are
locked on the commit list"), since it can lead to deadlocks between
commit requests and nfs_join_page_group().
For now we should assume that any locked requests on the commit list are
either about to be removed and committed by another task, or the writes
they describe are about to be retransmitted. In either case, we should
not need to worry.

Fixes: 2ce209c42c ("NFS: Wait for requests that are locked on the commit list")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
