Modify writing to mirrored pNFS DSs to prepare for use of ext_pgs mbufs.

Description

Modify writing to mirrored pNFS DSs to prepare for use of ext_pgs mbufs.

This patch modifies writing to mirrored pNFS DSs slightly so that there is
only one m_copym() call for a mirrored pair instead of two of them.
This call replaces the custom nfsm_copym() call, which is no longer needed
and deleted by this patch. The patch does introduce a new nfsm_split()
function that only calls m_split() for the non-ext_pgs case.
The semantics of nfsm_uiombuflist() is changed to include code that nul
pads the generated mbuf list. This was done by nfsm_copym() prior to this patch.

The main reason for this change is that it allows the data to be a list
of ext_pgs mbufs, since the m_copym() is for the entire mbuf list.
This support will be added in a future commit.

This patch only affects writing to mirrored flexible file layout pNFS servers.
