Oh, right.

Delegations block unlinks too so that probably doesn't help.

The callback isn't too important, I think, if we want to return the
delegation at the end of the test we can do that without waiting for the
server to remind us.

Or maybe destroy the client at the end.  We have no DESTROY_CLIENTID
(this is 4.0), but we could do a client-rebooting SETCLIENTID/CONFIRM to
wipe out its state.

There may be limits to the kind of cleanup pynfs can do.  A test harness
should probably reboot the server between test runs.
