NFS: O_DIRECT async IO may lose context

The struct nfs_direct_req currently keeps a pointer to the file descriptor
without referencing it. This may cause problems if the parent process is
killed.

The nfs_open_context should normally have all the information that we're
currently using the filp for, and unlike fput(), is safe to release from
an rpciod process context.
