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

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.
