Note that RFC8881, section 8.2.4, mandates the server to return
NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID if the selected table entry does not match the
current filehandle. However returning NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID in the
OPEN causes the client to retry the operation and therefor get the
client into a loop. To avoid this situation we return NFS4ERR_INVAL
instead.

V1 -> V2: replace NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID with NFS4ERR_INVAL and add
          comment to explain the deviation from the spec.
