I'm not sure this change makes any difference. The client would
possibly see the change value move forward then back. I'd think a
false "atomic" field and using the /same/ pre- and post-change would
be safer...?

But I'm intrigued enough to apply this to nfsd-next provisionally,
at least for testing and further review. It will appear a little
later today.
