[ Upstream commit ba838a75e73f55a780f1ee896b8e3ecb032dba0f ]

I measured a 50% throughput regression for large direct writes.

The observed on-the-wire behavior is that the client sends every
NFS WRITE twice: once as an UNSTABLE WRITE plus a COMMIT, and once
as a FILE_SYNC WRITE.

This is because the nfs_write_match_verf() check in
nfs_direct_commit_complete() fails for every WRITE.

Buffered writes use nfs_write_completion(), which sets req->wb_verf
correctly. Direct writes use nfs_direct_write_completion(), which
does not set req->wb_verf at all. This leaves req->wb_verf set to
all zeroes for every direct WRITE, and thus
nfs_direct_commit_completion() always sets NFS_ODIRECT_RESCHED_WRITES.

This fix appears to restore nearly all of the lost performance.
