nfs4_async_handle_error() initiates state recovery
nfs4_reclaim_open_state() eventually calls nfs4_reclaim_locks() which
marks the lock LOST. state is delegated so the kernel logs "lock
reclaim failed".
write retries and in nfs4_copy_ lock_stateid() the lock is marked LOST
and the nfs4_select_rw_stateid() fails with EIO.
