(Minor derail: it might be worth waiting briefly before returning
NFS4ERR_DELAY.

It would be easy enough to implement, the hard part would be testing
whether it helped.  I think the initial client retry time is 100ms
(NFS4_POLL_RETRY_MIN), so it'd have to beat that frequently enough.)

Gah, I hate having to patch every notify_change caller.  But maybe I
should get over that, the resulting logic is simpler.  Anyway, stripping
away all those callers:

Right, the advantage is that this makes checking for conflicts simple
and obvious:

notify_change, vfs_unlink, etc., all get a new argument:

And, right, we need a way to lookup nfs4_file by inode:

(ignoring how we do it for now).

And then you recall nfsd delegations and delegations held by
(hypothetical) non-nfsd users separately, OK (also ignoring how).

There are no such users currently, so nfsd could just pass NULL.
