nfs: don't reuse partially completed requests in nfs_lock_and_join_requests
When NFS requests are split into sub-requests, nfs_inode_remove_request calls nfs_page_group_sync_on_bit to set PG_REMOVE on this sub-request and only completes the head requests once PG_REMOVE is set on all requests. This means that when nfs_lock_and_join_requests sees a PG_REMOVE bit, I/O on the request is in progress and has partially completed. If such a request is returned to nfs_try_to_update_request, it could be extended with the newly dirtied region and I/O for the combined range will be re-scheduled, leading to extra I/O. Change the logic to instead restart the search for a request when any PG_REMOVE bit is set, as the completion handler will remove the request as soon as it can take the page group lock. This not only avoid extending the I/O but also does the right thing for the callers that want to cancel or flush the request.
