Actually... Wait... Why isn't the existing code sufficient?

        status = nfs4_call_sync(server->client, server, msg,
                                &args.seq_args, &res.seq_res, 0);
        if (status == 0) {
                if (nfs_should_remove_suid(inode)) {
                        spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
                        nfs_set_cache_invalid(inode, NFS_INO_INVALID_MODE);
                        spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
                }
                status = nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc(inode,
                                                            res.falloc_fattr);
        }

We explicitly check for SUID bits, and invalidate the mode if they are
set.
