Subject: NFS: Fix 2 use after free issues in the I/O code

From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>

commit 196639ebbe63a037fe9a80669140bd292d8bcd80 upstream.

The writeback code wants to send a commit after processing the pages, which is why we want to delay releasing the struct path until after that's done.

Also, the layout code expects that we do not free the inode before we've put the layout segments in pnfs_writehdr_free() and pnfs_readhdr_free()

Fixes 919e3bd9a875 ("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")
Fixes 4714fb51fd03 ("nfs: remove pgio_header refcount, related cleanup")
