This patch fixes an Oops which happens when a filesystem mounted with
the "direct_io" mount option is exported through NFS. The problem is
that nfsd passes a kernel buffer with the "set_fs(KERNEL_DS)" method
to read and write, but get_user_pages() won't work on such a buffer.
The current fix is "don't do that then". Long term solution will be
to implement nfs serving in userspace. Bug spotted by David Shaw.
