Subject: NFSv4.x: Fix handling of partially delegated locks
From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c5a2a15f8146fdfe45078df7873a6dc1006b3869 upstream.
If a NFS client receives a delegation for a file after it has taken
a lock on that file, we can currently end up in a situation where
we mistakenly skip unlocking that file.
The following patch swaps an erroneous check in nfs4_proc_unlck for
whether or not the file has a delegation to one which checks whether
or not we hold a lock stateid for that file.
