Oh boy.

(Thinks.)

Once it issues a DESTROY_CLIENTID or an EXCHANGE_ID that removes the
previous client instance's state, it's got no locks to reclaim any more.
(It can't have gotten any *new* ones, since we're still in the grace
period.)

It's effectively a brand new client. Only reclaiming clients should
bump that counter.

We certainly shouldn't be waiting for it to RECLAIM_COMPLETE to end the
grace period, that client just doesn't matter any more.

I think?
