If a write delegation isn't available, the Linux NFS client uses
a zero-stateid when performing a SETATTR.
If that client happens to hold a read delegation, the server will
recall it immediately, resulting in a short delay while the
CB_RECALL operation is done. Optimize out this delay by having the
client return any delegation it may hold on a file before issuing a
SETATTR(zero-stateid) on that file.
