Pure nfs client performance using odirect.

When an application opens a file with O_DIRECT flag, if the size of
the data that is written is equal to wsize, the client sends a
WRITE RPC with stable flag set to UNSTABLE followed by a single
COMMIT RPC rather than sending a single WRITE RPC with the stable
flag set to FILE_SYNC. This a bug.

Patch to fix this.
