    nfs41: serialize first layoutget of a file · 9bf87482

    Per RFC 5661 Errata 3208:
    | A client MAY always forget its layout state and associated
    | layout stateid at any time (See also section 12.5.5.1).
    | In such case, the client MUST use a non-layout stateid for the next
    | LAYOUTGET operation. This will signal the server that the client has
    | no more layouts on the file and its respective layout state can be
    | released before issuing a new layout in response to LAYOUTGET.
    
    In order to make such a signal unique to server, client needs to serialize
    all layoutgets using non-layout stateid. We implement this by serializing
    layoutgets when client has no layout segments at hand.
