nfs: don't call __mark_inode_dirty while holding i_lock
nfs_scan_commit() is called with the inode->i_lock held, but it then
calls __mark_inode_dirty() while still holding the lock. This causes
a deadlock.
Push the inode->i_lock into nfs_scan_commit() so it can protect only
the parts of the code it needs to and can be dropped before the call
to __mark_inode_dirty() to avoid the deadlock.
