To address this, prevent the NFS direct I/O engine from completing
async iocbs when the forward path returns an error without starting
any I/O.

This fix appears to survive ^C during both "xfstest no. 208" and "fsx
-Z."

It's likely this bug has existed for a very long while, as we are seeing
very similar symptoms in OEL 5.  Copying stable.
