nfs: Fix race in __update_open_stateid()



We've seen this in a packet capture - I've intermixed what I
think was going on. The fix here is to grab the so_lock sooner.

1964379 -> #1 open (for write) reply seqid=1
1964393 -> #2 open (for read) reply seqid=2

  __nfs4_close(), state->n_wronly--
  nfs4_state_set_mode_locked(), changes state->state = [R]
  state->flags is [RW]
  state->state is [R], state->n_wronly == 0, state->n_rdonly == 1

1964398 -> #3 open (for write) call -> because close is already running
1964399 -> downgrade (to read) call seqid=2 (close of #1)
1964402 -> #3 open (for write) reply seqid=3

 __update_open_stateid()
   nfs_set_open_stateid_locked(), changes state->flags
   state->flags is [RW]
   state->state is [R], state->n_wronly == 0, state->n_rdonly == 1
   new sequence number is exposed now via nfs4_stateid_copy()

   next step would be update_open_stateflags(), pending so_lock

1964403 -> downgrade reply seqid=2, fails with OLD_STATEID (close of #1)

   nfs4_close_prepare() gets so_lock and recalcs flags -> send close

1964405 -> downgrade (to read) call seqid=3 (close of #1 retry)

   __update_open_stateid() gets so_lock
 * update_open_stateflags() updates state->n_wronly.
   nfs4_state_set_mode_locked() updates state->state

   state->flags is [RW]
   state->state is [RW], state->n_wronly == 1, state->n_rdonly == 1

 * should have suppressed the preceding nfs4_close_prepare() from
   sending open_downgrade

1964406 -> write call
1964408 -> downgrade (to read) reply seqid=4 (close of #1 retry)

   nfs_clear_open_stateid_locked()
   state->flags is [R]
   state->state is [RW], state->n_wronly == 1, state->n_rdonly == 1

1964409 -> write reply (fails, openmode)
