NFSv4: Fix races between nfs_remove_bad_delegation() and delegation return

commit 869f9dfa upstream.

Any attempt to call nfs_remove_bad_delegation() while a delegation is being
returned is currently a no-op. This means that we can end up looping
forever in nfs_end_delegation_return() if something causes the delegation
to be revoked.
This patch adds a mechanism whereby the state recovery code can communicate
to the delegation return code that the delegation is no longer valid and
that it should not be used when reclaiming state.
It also changes the return value for nfs4_handle_delegation_recall_error()
to ensure that nfs_end_delegation_return() does not reattempt the lock
reclaim before state recovery is done.
