NFS: Use i_writecount to control whether to get an fscache cookie in nfs_open()

Use i_writecount to control whether to get an fscache cookie in nfs_open() as
NFS does not do write caching yet.  I *think* this is the cause of a problem
encountered by Mark Moseley whereby __fscache_uncache_page() gets a NULL
pointer dereference because cookie->def is NULL:

The code at the instruction pointer was disassembled:

> (gdb) disas __fscache_uncache_page
> Dump of assembler code for function __fscache_uncache_page:
> ...
> 0xffffffff812a18ff <+31>: mov 0x48(%rbx),%rax
> 0xffffffff812a1903 <+35>: cmpb $0x0,0x10(%rax)
> 0xffffffff812a1907 <+39>: je 0xffffffff812a19cd <__fscache_uncache_page+237>

These instructions make up:

	ASSERTCMP(cookie->def->type, !=, FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX);

That cmpb is the faulting instruction (%rax is 0).  So cookie->def is NULL -
which presumably means that the cookie has already been at least partway
through __fscache_relinquish_cookie().

What I think may be happening is something like a three-way race on the same
file:

	PROCESS 1	PROCESS 2	PROCESS 3
	===============	===============	===============
	open(O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY)
			open(O_RDONLY)
					open(O_WRONLY)
	-->nfs_open()
	-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
	nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
	nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
	__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
	nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
	<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()

			-->nfs_open()
			-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
			nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
			nfs_fscache_enable_inode_cookie()
			__fscache_acquire_cookie()
			nfs_inode->fscache = cookie
			<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
	<--nfs_open()
	-->nfs_setattr()
	...
	...
	-->nfs_invalidate_page()
	-->__nfs_fscache_invalidate_page()
	cookie = nfsi->fscache
					-->nfs_open()
					-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
					nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
					nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
					-->__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
	-->__fscache_uncache_page(cookie)
	<crash>
					<--__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
					nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
					<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()

What is needed is something to prevent process #2 from reacquiring the cookie
- and I think checking i_writecount should do the trick.

It's also possible to have a two-way race on this if the file is opened
O_TRUNC|O_RDONLY instead.
