The WANT_DELEGATION operation allows the server to hand out delegations
for aggressive caching of symlinks. It is not an error to return that
delegation using DELEGRETURN.
Furthermore, provided that the presented stateid is actually valid, it
is also sufficient to uniquely identify the file to which it is
associated (see RFC8881 Section 8.2.4), so the filehandle should be
considered mostly irrelevant for operations like DELEGRETURN.
