NFS: Fix spurious readdir cookie loop messages

If the directory contents change, then we have to accept that the
file->f_pos value may shrink if we do a 'search-by-cookie'. In that
case, we should turn off the loop detection and let the NFS client
try to recover.

The patch also fixes a second loop detection bug by ensuring
that after turning on the ctx->duped flag, we read at least one new
cookie into ctx->dir_cookie before attempting to match with
ctx->dup_cookie.

fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,
