The LAYOUTCOMMIT operation means different things to different layout types.
For blocks and objects, it is both a data and metadata consistency operation.
For files and flexfiles, it is only a metadata consistency operation.
This patch separates out the 2 cases, allowing the files/flexfiles layout
drivers to optimise away the data consistency calls to layoutcommit.

pnfs_set_layoutcommit() and pnfs_commit_set_layoutcommit() are 100% identical
except for the function arguments. Refactor to eliminate the difference.

The File Layout's filelayout_mark_request_commit() is almost the
Flex File Layout's ff_layout_mark_request_commit(). And that can
be reduced by calling into nfs_request_add_commit_list().

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
"This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
preparation for a rework of the life time rules. In this part, the
most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.
Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
have a swap backing. Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
lustre backing_dev_info from staging. Last patch was from Al,
unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"
* 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
Make super_blocks and sb_lock static
mtd: export new mtd_mmap_capabilities
fs: make inode_to_bdi() handle NULL inode
staging/lustre/llite: get rid of backing_dev_info
fs: remove default_backing_dev_info
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
nfs: don't call bdi_unregister
ceph: remove call to bdi_unregister
fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info
fs: export inode_to_bdi and use it in favor of mapping->backing_dev_info
nilfs2: set up s_bdi like the generic mount_bdev code
block_dev: get bdev inode bdi directly from the block device
block_dev: only write bdev inode on close
fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED
fs: deduplicate noop_backing_dev_info
The flexfile layout is a new layout that extends the
file layout. It is currently being drafted as a specification at
