Commit 587f03deb69b caused pnfs_update_layout() to stop returning ENOMEM
when the memory allocation fails, and hence causes it to fall back to
trying to do I/O through the MDS. There is no guarantee that this will
fare any better. If we're failing the pNFS layout allocation, then we
should just redirty the page and retry later.
