From: Trond Myklebust <redacted>

Some calls to rpc_exit_task() may deliberately change the value of
task->tk_status, for instance because it gets checked by the RPC call's
rpc_release() callback. That makes it wrong to reset the value to
task->tk_rpc_status.
In particular this causes a bug where the rpc_call_done() callback tries
to fail over a set of pNFS/flexfiles writes to a different IP address,
but the reset of task->tk_status causes nfs_commit_release_pages() to
immediately mark the file as having a fatal error.
