There is no spec mandate (yet) for CB_OFFLOAD notification on
DESTROY_CLIENTID, so I'm dropping the patch for now.

Some logic can be added such that no retry is done. However, if the
client does not respond at all to the CB_OFFLOAD, NFSD's RPC timeout
is still 7 seconds.

We expect this will be exceptionally rare, though -- clients are
typically aware of ongoing COPY operations and generally won't try
to destroy a client ID where there is pending work that they care
about.
