nfs: always make sure page is up-to-date before extending a write to cover the entire page
We should always make sure the cached page is up-to-date when we're determining whether we can extend a write to cover the full page -- even if we've received a write delegation from the server. Commit c7559663 added logic to skip this check if we have a write delegation, which can lead to data corruption such as the following scenario if client B receives a write delegation from the NFS server: Client A: # echo 123456789 > /mnt/file Client B: # echo abcdefghi >> /mnt/file # cat /mnt/file 0�D0�abcdefghi Just because we hold a write delegation doesn't mean that we've read in the entire page contents.
