nfs: add 'noalignwrite' option for lock-less 'lost writes' prevention
There are some applications that write to predefined non-overlapping
file offsets from multiple clients and therefore don't need to rely on
file locking. However, if these applications want non-aligned offsets
and sizes they need to either use locks or risk data corruption, as the
NFS client defaults to extending writes to whole pages.
This commit adds a new mount option `noalignwrite`, which allows to turn
that off and avoid the need of locking, as long as these applications
don't overlap on offsets.
