nfsd_rename() can kick off a CB_RECALL (via vfs_rename() -> leases_conflict()) if a delegation is present. Before returning NFS4ERR_DELAY, give the client holding that delegation a chance to return it and then retry the nfsd_rename() again, once. This version of the patch handles renaming an existing file, but does not deal with renaming onto an existing file. That case will still always trigger an NFS4ERR_DELAY.
