NeilBrown 6bb2270223 NFS: swap-out must always use STABLE writes.
[ Upstream commit c265de257f558a05c1859ee9e3fed04883b9ec0e ]

The commit handling code is not safe against memory-pressure deadlocks
when writing to swap.  In particular, nfs_commitdata_alloc() blocks
indefinitely waiting for memory, and this can consume all available
workqueue threads.

swap-out most likely uses STABLE writes anyway as COND_STABLE indicates
that a stable write should be used if the write fits in a single
request, and it normally does.  However if we ever swap with a small
wsize, or gather unusually large numbers of pages for a single write,
this might change.

For safety, make it explicit in the code that direct writes used for swap
must always use FLUSH_STABLE.
