If the server reboots before it can commit the unstable writes to disk,
then nfs_commit_release_pages() will detect this when it compares the
verifier returned by COMMIT to the one returned by WRITE. When this
happens, the client needs to resend those writes in order to guarantee
that they make it to stable storage.
This patch adds a signalling mechanism to notify fsync() that it
needs to retry all writes before it can exit.

We need to ensure that if the call to filemap_write_and_wait_range()
fails, then we report that error back to the application.

This patch moves the NFS v4 file functions into a new file that is only
compiled when CONFIG_NFS_V4 is enabled.
