I believe the misbehaviour started with
Commit: b0fc29d6fcd0 ("nfsd: Ensure stateids remain unique until they are freed")
in v3.18.

The bug in the current code is that it assumes that

	list_del_init(&dp->dl_recall_lru);

actually removes from the the dl_recall_lru, and so a reference must be
dropped.  But if it wasn't on the list, then that is wrong.
So a "if (!list_empty(&dp->dl_recall_lru))" guard might also fix the
bug (though adding SC_STATUS_CLOSED is a better fix I think).

Prior to the above 3.17 commit, the relevant code was

 static void destroy_revoked_delegation(struct nfs4_delegation *dp)
 {
        list_del_init(&dp->dl_recall_lru);
        remove_stid(&dp->dl_stid);
        nfs4_put_delegation(dp);
 }

so the revoked delegation would be removed (remove_stid) from the idr
and a subsequent FREE_STATEID request would not find it.
The commit removed the remove_stid() call but didn't do anything to
prevent the free_stateid being repeated.
In that kernel it might have been appropriate to set
  dp->dl_stid.sc_type = NFS4_CLOSED_DELEG_STID;
was done to unhash_delegation() in that patch.

So I think we should declare
Fixes: b0fc29d6fcd0 ("nfsd: Ensure stateids remain unique until they are freed")

and be prepared to provide alternate patches for older kernels.
