Thanks. So it seems likely we're looking at a race of some sort then...

So, the way this is supposed to work is that the stateids each hold a
reference to the nfs4_file. They also take an fi_access reference for
the open modes that they represent. This is how we know when it's OK to
close one of the files in the fd[] slots. It might be interesting to
also print out the fi_access counters if the slot hasn't been zeroed
out if you feel up to it.

I think though that the open upgrade accounting may be wrong.
__nfs4_file_get_access does an unconditional atomic_inc, so if the
client does a open for write and then opens again for read/write, then
we may end up with too many write fi_access references taken.

That said, this code is quite subtle. I'd need to look over it in more
detail before I offer up any fixes. I'd also appreciate it if anyone
else wants to sanity check my analysis there.
