[PATCH RFC] nfsd: don't hand out write delegations on O_WRONLY opens

I noticed that xfstests generic/001 was failing against linux-next nfsd.

The client would request a OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE open, and the server
would hand out a write delegation. The client would then try to use that
write delegation as the source stateid in a COPY or CLONE operation, and
the server would respond with NFS4ERR_STALE.

The problem is that the struct file associated with the delegation does
not necessarily have read permissions. It's handing out a write
delegation on what is effectively an O_WRONLY open. RFC 8881 states:

"An OPEN_DELEGATE_WRITE delegation allows the client to handle, on its
own, all opens."

Given that the client didn't request any read permissions, and that nfsd
didn't check for any, it seems wrong to give out a write delegation.

Don't hand out a delegation if the client didn't request
OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_BOTH.

This fixes xfstest generic/001.
