[RFC PATCH 4/4] NFSD: Return NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN only when linking an open file

[cel@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>

RFC 8881 Section 18.9.4 paragraphs 1 - 2 tell us that RENAME should
return NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN only when the target object is a file that
is currently open. If the target is a directory, some other status
must be returned.

Generally I expect that a delegation recall will be triggered in
some of these circumstances. In other cases, the VFS might return
-EBUSY for other reasons, and NFSD has to ensure that errno does
not leak to clients as a status code that is not permitted by spec.
