NFS: Don't free a state ID the server does not recognize



The result of a TEST_STATEID operation can indicate a few different
things:

  o If NFS_OK is returned, then the client can continue using the
    state ID under test, and skip recovery.

  o RFC 5661 says that if the state ID was revoked, then the client
    must perform an explicit FREE_STATEID before trying to re-open.

  o If the server doesn't recognize the state ID at all, then no
    FREE_STATEID is needed, and the client can immediately continue
    with open recovery.

Let's err on the side of caution: if the server clearly tells us the
state ID is unknown, we skip the FREE_STATEID.  For any other error,
we issue a FREE_STATEID.  Sometimes that FREE_STATEID will be
unnecessary, but leaving unused state IDs on the server needlessly
ties up resources.
