This logic is just terrible; I'll see what if I can make this more
sensible.

For now, though, this should fix the bug.

Thanks again for this testing.

    nfsd4: don't close read-write opens too soon
    
    Don't actually close any opens until we don't need them at all.
    
    This means being left with write access when it's not really necessary,
    but that's better than putting a file that might still have posix locks
    held on it, as we have been.
