If our CLOSE RPC call is rejected with an ERR_STALE error, then we
should remove the GETATTR call from the compound RPC and retry.
This could happen in a scenario where two clients tries to access
the same file. One client opens the file and the other client removes
the file while it's opened by first client. When the first client
attempts to close the file the server returns ESTALE and the file ends
up being leaked on the server. This depends on how nfs server is
configured and is not reproducible if running against nfsd.
