[PATCH 4.14 24/77] PNFS fallback to MDS if no deviceid found

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b1029c9bc078a6f1515f55dd993b507dcc7e3440 upstream.

If we fail to find a good deviceid while trying to pnfs instead of
propogating an error back fallback to doing IO to the MDS. Currently,
code with fals the IO with EINVAL.
