I applied Jeff's weekend CB_GETATTR patches to nfsd-fixes. If
there's an additional bug fix carried in Neil's clean-up, I would
like that to apply to that branch, as a small surgical fix, so it
can go into v6.11-rc.
Seems like these CB_GETATTR fixes need to be applicable to LTS
kernels, so let's keep them narrow.

Neil, I'd prefer:
1) specific fixes to apply to the nfsd-fixes branch
2) larger clean-ups to apply to the nfsd-next branch
Untangling nfsd4_deleg_getattr_conflict() is a sensible thing to do,
IMO, but I'd bet that Linus would consider that development rather
than an urgent bug fix.
