I already tried to fix this issue using encode_fh without stable ino before.
But I reached conclusion that we should use stable inode number.
e.g. If we rebuild inode number using i_pos of fh, inode number is
changed by i_unique.
And It is not match with inode number of FH on NFS client. So estale
error will happen.
Thanks.
