[PATCH 3/3] NFS/localio: issue commit inline when not in a memory-reclaim context

Extend the memory-reclaim-context test used for LOCALIO reads and writes to
the commit (fsync) path.  As with data IO, bouncing every commit through the
dedicated !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nfslocaliod_workqueue is only required when the
submitting context is a memory-reclaim context: nfs_local_run_commit() calls
vfs_fsync_range(), which may flush the underlying filesystem's own
!WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue, and doing so from a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker or a
PF_MEMALLOC task trips check_flush_dependency().

The writeback path does exercise this: nfs_write_inode() (the ->write_inode
super_op) runs under wb_workfn on the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bdi_wq and reaches
nfs_local_commit() via __nfs_commit_inode(), so that case must keep
deferring.  Application-context commits -- fsync (nfs_file_fsync), O_DIRECT
(nfs_direct), and copy/clone (nfs42) -- are not in a reclaim context and now
run the fsync inline via nfs_local_defer_io(), avoiding the per-commit
workqueue hop.

Completion (nfs_commit_release_pages -> nfs_commit_end) then runs
synchronously in the submitting context; higher layers already cope with
this, as __nfs_commit_inode() dispatches the commit async and waits for it
separately via wait_on_commit().
