I'm trying to figure out if this fixes an actual bug.  The code should
be able to deal with a callback on an already unhashed delegation, so I
think you're right it would at worst just be an unnecessary recall.
This won't catch every such case (could be that nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare
already ran and we're too late), so I wonder if this is worth it.

More interesting to me is what exactly it would take to hit this
case....  Another thread would have to have succesfully hashed a
delegation for this client and file to make our hash_delegation_locked
fail.  So there would be two leases for the same file and client, but
with different delegation pointers as the fl_owner.  I *think* we handle
that OK.  But it was likely problematic previously when we were still
using the file pointer as the fl_owner.
