NFS: Fix up TEST_STATEID and FREE_STATEID return code handling
The TEST_STATEID and FREE_STATEID operations can return -NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID, -NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID, or -NFS4ERR_DEADSESSION. nfs41_{test,free}_stateid() should not pass these errors to nfs4_handle_exception() during state recovery, since that will recursively kick off state recovery again, resulting in a deadlock. In particular, when the TEST_STATEID operation returns NFS4_OK, res.status can contain one of these errors. _nfs41_test_stateid() replaces NFS4_OK with the value in res.status, which is then returned to callers. But res.status is not passed through nfs4_stat_to_errno(), and thus is a positive NFS4ERR value. Currently callers are only interested in !NFS4_OK, and nfs4_handle_exception() ignores positive values. Thus the res.status values are currently ignored by nfs4_handle_exception() and won't cause the deadlock above. Thanks to this missing negative, it is only when these operations fail (which is very rare) that a deadlock can occur. Bryan agrees the original intent was to return res.status as a negative NFS4ERR value to callers of nfs41_test_stateid().
