The new 'vfhretry' mount option will be used to enable the volatile filehandle
recovery routines in the client. On an expired filehandle recover the client
will attempt to recover by performing a lookup on the name of the file.
This mechanism of recovery isn't necessarily safe for a posix filesystem so
using the mount option will allow the user to enable this at their own risk. If the mount option is not turned on, the FHEXPIRED error will be converted to
ESTALE.
