NFSD: Free async copy information in nfsd4_cb_offload_release()



RFC 7862 Section 4.8 states:

> A copy offload stateid will be valid until either (A) the client
> or server restarts or (B) the client returns the resource by
> issuing an OFFLOAD_CANCEL operation or the client replies to a
> CB_OFFLOAD operation.

Currently, NFSD purges the metadata for an async COPY operation as
soon as the CB_OFFLOAD callback has been sent. It does not wait even
for the client's CB_OFFLOAD response, as the paragraph above
suggests that it should.

This makes the OFFLOAD_STATUS operation ineffective during the
window between the completion of an asynchronous COPY and the
server's receipt of the corresponding CB_OFFLOAD response. This is
important if, for example, the client responds with NFS4ERR_DELAY,
or the transport is lost before the server receives the response. A
client might use OFFLOAD_STATUS to query the server about the still
pending asynchronous COPY, but NFSD will respond to OFFLOAD_STATUS
as if it had never heard of the presented copy stateid.

This patch starts to address this issue by extending the lifetime of
struct nfsd4_copy at least until the server has seen the client's
CB_OFFLOAD response, or the CB_OFFLOAD has timed out.
