4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Trond Myklebust <trond.mykleb...@primarydata.com>
commit 54e4a0dfa25d9365c4e80a639e80d9213eb6edbe upstream.
We must not call nfs_pageio_init_read() on a new nfs_pageio_descriptor
while holding a reference to a layout segment, as that can deadlock
pnfs_update_layout().
Fixes: d67ae825a59d6 ("pnfs/flexfiles: Add the FlexFile Layout Driver")
