cover FlexFiles: too many bytes w/ direct+aio retried read

vers 2 fixes unused var found by buildbot.

Patch 1 fixes an issue seen when using libaio with directio where if a read is retried (ie due to recalled layout) we return too many bytes. Specifically, we returned a multiple of the read size.

To reproduce, run fio with ioengine=libaio and direct=1, then revoke the active layout. This should hit pretty easily.

Patch 2 should help notice similar issues elsewhere.

PATCH 1/2 pnfs: set NFS_IOHDR_REDO in pnfs_read_resend_pnfs

Like other resend paths, mark the (old) hdr as NFS_IOHDR_REDO. This ensures the hdr completion function will not count the (old) hdr as good bytes.

Also, vector the error back through the hdr->task.tk_status like other retry calls.

This fixes a bug with the FlexFiles layout where libaio was reporting more bytes read than requested.

PATCH 2/2 nfs: add debug to directio "good_bytes" counting

In reply to Weston Andros Adamson

This will pop a warning if we count too many good bytes.
