[PATCH] NFS: Deal with failure of invalidate_inode_pages2()

If invalidate_inode_pages2() fails, then it should in principle just be
because the current process was signalled.  In that case, we just want to
ensure that the inode's page cache remains marked as invalid.

Also add a helper to allow the O_DIRECT code to simply mark the page cache as
invalid once it is finished writing, instead of calling
invalidate_inode_pages2() itself.
