Adding a justification is OK with me, and please replace the
list of steps with my updated list above.

However, your explanation implies that Solaris is the only server
that might need this fix. Actually _any_ server that supports
transparent state migration needs clients to get this fix. Lock
operations on a file that has moved are not able to update the
sequence ID on the destination server.

This backwards-compatible change is OK because:

- No servers in the wild support migration yet, thus
NFS4ERR_MOVED is never returned by existing servers

- Clients that do not support migration should never receive
NFS4ERR_MOVED on a state-mutating operation

In other words, this change is necessary only for clients that
support TSM.

Salt to taste.
