RHEL7: NFSv4 client hangs with tcpdump showing repeated sequence of OPEN / TEST_STATEID all completing with NFS_OK but SEQUENCE reply contains SEQ4_STATUS_RECALLABLE_STATE_REVOKED bit set

Issue

• NFS4 client hangs and must be rebooted to recover.
• Seeing many kernel: NFS: nfs4_reclaim_open_state: Lock reclaim failed! messages as described in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1117763
• Taking a tcpdump, it is seen that the NFS4 state manager sends TEST_STATEID and receiving SEQ4_STATUS_RECALLABLE_STATE_REVOKED in a tight loop, > 5000 times per second.
