The latest knfsd server is "courteous" in that it will not revoke a lease held by an expired client until there is competing access for it. When there is competing access, it can now return NFS4ERR_DELAY until the old client is expired. I've seen this happen when running pynfs in a loop against a server with only 4g of memory. The v4.0 compound handler doesn't retry automatically on NFS4ERR_DELAY like the v4.1 version does. Add support for it using the same timeouts as the v4.1 compound handler.
