The failure to return a stateowner from nfs4_preprocess_seqid_op() means
in the case where a lock request is of a type incompatible with an open
(due to, e.g., an application attempting a write lock on a file open for
read), means that fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c:ENCODE_SEQID_OP_TAIL() never bumps
the seqid as it should. The client, attempting to close the file
afterwards, then gets an (incorrect) bad sequence id error. Worse, this
prevents the open file from ever being closed, so we leak state.
Thanks to Benny Halevy and Trond Myklebust for analysis, and to Steven
Wilton for the report and extensive data-gathering.
