I put the client into an open recovery loop by:
Client: Open file
read half
Server: Expire client (echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/forget_clients)
Client: Drop vm cache (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches)
finish reading file

This causes a loop because the client never updates the nfs4_state after
discovering that the delegation is invalid.  This means it will keep
trying to read using the bad delegation rather than attempting to re-open
the file.
