You might want to note that this Oops applies to upstream too. :-)

This looks like the wrong thing to do. We know how the system got here:
someone called fsync() or sync(), and NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT was set.
What we don't know is why the layout was freed before
pnfs_layoutcommit_inode() was called.
I suggest that we rather put a
WARN_ON_ONCE(test_and_clear_bit(NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT, &nfsi->flags));
WARN_ON_ONCE(test_and_clear_bit(NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMITTING, &nfsi->flags));
inside pnfs_detach_layout_hdr(). That should stand a better chance of
catching the sort of bug you found above.
BTW: shouldn't pnfs_return_layout() always call
pnfs_layoutcommit_inode()?
