nfsd: reset write verifier on deferred writeback errors
commit 2090b05803faab8a9fa62fbff871007862cac1b7 upstream.
nfsd_vfs_write() and nfsd_commit() both call filemap_check_wb_err() to
detect deferred writeback errors, but neither rotates the server's write
verifier (nn->writeverf) when this check fails. Every other
durable-storage-failure path in these functions calls
commit_reset_write_verifier() before returning an error.
The missing rotation means clients holding UNSTABLE write data under the
current verifier will COMMIT, receive the unchanged verifier back, and
conclude their data is durable — silently dropping data that failed
writeback. This violates the UNSTABLE+COMMIT durability contract
(RFC 1813 §3.3.7, RFC 8881 §18.32).
Add commit_reset_write_verifier() calls at both filemap_check_wb_err()
error sites, matching the pattern used by adjacent error paths in the
same functions. The helper already filters -EAGAIN and -ESTALE
internally, so the calls are unconditionally safe.
