A test case is as the description says:
open(foobar, O_WRONLY);
sleep()  --> reboot the server
close(foobar)

The bug is because in nfs4state.c in nfs4_reclaim_open_state() a few
line before going to restart, there is
clear_bit(NFS4CLNT_RECLAIM_NOGRACE, &state->flags).

NFS4CLNT_RECLAIM_NOGRACE is a flag for the client states not open
owner states. Value of NFS4CLNT_RECLAIM_NOGRACE is 4 which is the
value of NFS_O_WRONLY_STATE in nfs4_state->flags. So clearing it wipes
out state and when we go to close it, “call_close” doesn’t get set as
state flag is not set and CLOSE doesn’t go on the wire.

That line was introduced to fix an infinite loop for OPEN recovery
upon receiving a BAD_STATEID error: commit e8d975e73. I have tested
injecting BAD_STATEID error using the patch below and the code
recovers without problems. However, I'm not sure the clearing of the
bit is needed any more. I have tested for infinite loop by reverting
the patch and didn't hit the infinite loop.
