NFS: Add sequence_priviliged_ops for nfs4_proc_sequence()
If I mount an NFS v4.1 server to a single client multiple times and then run xfstests over each mountpoint I usually get the client into a state where recovery deadlocks. The server informs the client of a cb_path_down sequence error, the client then does a bind_connection_to_session and checks the status of the lease. I found that bind_connection_to_session sets the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING flag on the client, but this flag is never unset before nfs4_check_lease() reaches nfs4_proc_sequence(). This causes the client to deadlock, halting all NFS activity to the server. nfs4_proc_sequence() is only called by the state manager, so I can change it to run in privileged mode to bypass the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING check and avoid the deadlock.
