Many applications open files with O_WRONLY, fully intending to write
into the opened file. There is no reason why these applications should
not enjoy a write delegation handed to them.

Note: I couldn't find any reason to why the initial implementation chose
to offer write delegations only to NFS4_SHARE_ACCESS_BOTH, but it seemed
like an oversight to me. So I figured why not just send it out and see who
objects...
