NFS: Zero-stateid SETATTR should first return delegation
If a write delegation isn't available, the Linux NFS client uses a zero-stateid when performing a SETATTR. NFSv4.0 provides no mechanism for an NFS server to match such a request to a particular client. It recalls all delegations for that file, even delegations held by the client issuing the request. If that client happens to hold a read delegation, the server will recall it immediately, resulting in an NFS4ERR_DELAY/CB_RECALL/ DELEGRETURN sequence. Optimize out this pipeline bubble by having the client return any delegations it may hold on a file before it issues a SETATTR(zero-stateid) on that file.
