Nothing. They are actually supposed to be handled identically here.
nfs4_handle_reclaim_lease_error() is called if and only if the
SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM (v4.0) or CREATE_SESSION (v4.1) fail. At that
point we have not yet sent out any OPEN or LOCK reclaim requests, so
the failure will really result in a reclaim all-or-nothing for both
NFSv4 and NFSv4.x.

This patch does not change the existing handling of
NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID above, so the NFSv4.0 code will continue to
work as before.

The reason why NFSv4.1 will not need changing above is because the
SEQUENCE op that we send instead of RENEW will receive a
NFS4ERR_DEADSESSION or NFS4ERR_BADSESSION instead of the stale
clientid error.
