NFSD: Offer write delegation for OPEN with OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE



RFC8881, section 9.1.2 says:

  "In the case of READ, the server may perform the corresponding
   check on the access mode, or it may choose to allow READ for
   OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE, to accommodate clients whose WRITE
   implementation may unavoidably do reads (e.g., due to buffer cache
   constraints)."

and in section 10.4.1:
   "Similarly, when closing a file opened for OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE/
   OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_BOTH and if an OPEN_DELEGATE_WRITE delegation
   is in effect"

This patch allows READ using write delegation stateid granted on OPENs
with OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE only, to accommodate clients whose WRITE
implementation may unavoidably do (e.g., due to buffer cache
constraints).

For write delegation granted for OPEN with OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE
a new nfsd_file and a struct file are allocated to use for reads.
The nfsd_file is freed when the file is closed by release_all_access.
