There is a tracepoint here and in every other callback completion
handler.

I can't think of anything actionable to report -- what would an
admin need or want to do in response to a callback failure? There
isn't much to do if, for instance, the client doesn't recognize the
copy stateid.

Also, DELAY is not infrequent and is a common temporary condition.

My sense is that the only time you want to see callback failures is
when you're looking for something specific. Otherwise, it will
generate a lot of low-value noise.

The Flight Data Recorder can do that if needed.
