NFSv4: Release the sequence id before restarting a CLOSE rpc call

If the CLOSE or OPEN_DOWNGRADE call triggers a state recovery, and has
to be resent, then we must release the seqid. Otherwise the open
recovery will wait for the close to finish, which causes a deadlock.

This is mainly a NFSv4.1 problem, although it can theoretically happen
with NFSv4.0 too, in a OPEN_DOWNGRADE situation.
