In order to destroy copy stateid as they expire we need some thread
monitoring the copies and then remove the expired one. That seems like
a lot more work than what's currently there. The spec says that the
use of the copy has to start without a certain timeout and that's what
this is suppose to enforce. If the client took too long start the
copy, it'll get an error. I don't think it matters what error code is
returned BAD_STATEID or PARTNER_NO_AUTH both imply the stateid is bad.

A copy (or copy_notify) stateid takes a reference on the parent, thus
we guaranteed that pointer is still a valid stateid.
