[PATCH 2/3] NFS: Fix races in nfs_revalidate_mapping()

[Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>]

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Prevent the call to invalidate_inode_pages2() from racing with file writes
by taking the inode->i_mutex across the page cache flush and invalidate.
