I see two new behaviors when this patch is applied:

1. With NFSv4.0, the cthon04 lock test #7 hangs after
"unlock region so child will unblock". ^C then unmount
works as expected.

2. With NFSv4.0, xfstests generic/089 fails because one
of the three test processes is starved out of locking
the test file (t_mtab). The test fails, there are no
other hangs or error messages.

I'm starting to look into the first issue.
