nfs: don't skip revalidate on directory delegation when attrs flagged stale
On a local directory mutation (rename/create/unlink) the client marks CHANGE / MTIME / CTIME as invalid in NFS_I(dir)->cache_validity. When a subsequent stat(2) enters __nfs_revalidate_inode() and finds a directory delegation held, the function currently early-exits and returns the cached (now stale) mtime to userspace without sending a GETATTR RPC. Keep the early-exit for the fast path, but take the RPC when CHANGE, MTIME, or CTIME are already marked invalid. The delegation alone is not a guarantee of cached-attr freshness once the code itself has flagged the cache as stale.
