NFS: Don't free a state ID the server does not recognize
The result of a TEST_STATEID operation can indicate a few different
things:
o If NFS_OK is returned, then the client can continue using the
state ID under test, and skip recovery.
o RFC 5661 says that if the state ID was revoked, then the client
must perform an explicit FREE_STATEID before trying to re-open.
o If the server doesn't recognize the state ID at all, then no
FREE_STATEID is needed, and the client can immediately continue
with open recovery.
Let's err on the side of caution: if the server clearly tells us the
state ID is unknown, we skip the FREE_STATEID. For any other error,
we issue a FREE_STATEID. Sometimes that FREE_STATEID will be
unnecessary, but leaving unused state IDs on the server needlessly
ties up resources.
