[PATCH] NFS4: Fix race to cl_confirm for v4.0 mount

[PATCH] NFS4: Fix race to cl_confirm for v4.0 mount

[Benjamin Coddington]

After commit f02f3755dbd1 ("NFS4: Fix v4.0 client state corruption when
mount") I have reports that sometimes all open() calls fail with -EPERM.
It appears that a race between the SETCLIENTID in trunking discovery and
another superflous SETCLIENTID triggered by immediately running the state
manager causes the nfs_client cl_confirm value to be stored in the wrong
order.

It doesn't really make sense to invoke the state manager just to clear the
NFS4CLNT_LEASE_EXPIRED flag.  The flag has historically been used to signal
that a new client still needs to perform a SETCLIENTID before creating
state, but now that we have trunking discovery that flag is unnecessary.

Remove the flag, remove the call to schedule the state manager from
trunking discovery.
