nfsd4: a client's own opens needn't prevent delegations
We recently fixed lease breaking so that a client's actions won't break its own delegations. But we still have an unnecessary self-conflict when granting delegations: a client's own write opens will prevent us from handing out a read delegation even when no other client has the file open for write. Fix that by turning off the checks for conflicting opens under vfs_setlease, and instead performing those checks in the nfsd code. We don't depend much on locks here: instead we acquire the delegation, then check for conflicts, and drop the delegation again if we find any. The check beforehand is an optimization of sorts, just to avoid acquiring the delegation unnecessarily. There's a race where the first check could cause us to deny the delegation when we could have granted it. But, that's OK, delegation grants are optional (and probably not even a good idea in that case). Signed-off-by: J.
