It's a general rule in the NFSv4 client that the only thread that is
allowed to call state recovery functions (after a server reboot or a
long-lived network partition) is the state manager thread. That
applies to _all_ state, not just open state.

The so_reclaim_seqcount only exists in order to tell the other threads
that they may need to replay file open or file lock requests that have
raced with state recovery (because those threads got scheduled out
after their RPC calls ran, but before they managed to set up the
tracking of the new state). It is basically an edge condition
killer...
