nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_request 

Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks.

In read path:
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request.
  BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has
    been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked.
  do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock

In write path:
  page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write
  nfs_writepages is called
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback,
    clearing dirty marks.
  The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as
    nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request
