Subject: nfs4: resend LAYOUTGET when there is a race that changes the seqid

From: Jeff Layton <[email protected]>

commit 4f2e9dce0c6348a95eaa56ade9bab18572221088 upstream.

pnfs_layout_process will check the returned layout stateid against what
the kernel has in-core. If it turns out that the stateid we received is
older, then we should resend the LAYOUTGET instead of falling back to
MDS I/O.
