Yes, your description is what I was thinking.

While the sheduling infrastructure exists to do it with rpc_wait_queue, it
seemed a bit of a overload to use them for delayed work when the conditions
for the delay are removed from the rpc layer.  I was wondering if that might
create situations where we repeatedly check many io_counters unnecessarily
when every io_counter reaches zero.

It does look like the return-on-close stuff uses them for this purpose,
however, so maybe it is appropriate.

My thinking was that the nfsiod workqueue was originally created to handle this
sort of work; I thought I'd follow the way put_nfs_open_context works to
call close.

Thanks for your comments and help.
