NFS: Ensure that we mark the inode as dirty if we exit early from commit

If we exit from nfs_commit_inode() without ensuring that the COMMIT rpc
call has been completed, we must re-mark the inode as dirty. Otherwise,
future calls to sync_inode() with the WB_SYNC_ALL flag set will fail to
ensure that the data is on the disk.
