NFSD: Async COPY result needs to return a write verifier

Currently, when NFSD handles an asynchronous COPY, it returns a
zero write verifier, relying on the subsequent CB_OFFLOAD callback
to pass the write verifier and a stable_how4 value to the client.

However, if the CB_OFFLOAD never arrives at the client (for example,
if a network partition occurs just as the server sends the
CB_OFFLOAD operation), the client will never receive this verifier.
Thus, if the client sends a follow-up COMMIT, there is no way for
the client to assess the COMMIT result.

The usual recovery for a missing CB_OFFLOAD is for the client to
send an OFFLOAD_STATUS operation, but that operation does not carry
a write verifier in its result. Neither does it carry a stable_how4
value, so the client /must/ send a COMMIT in this case -- which will
always fail because currently there's still no write verifier in the
COPY result.

Thus the server needs to return a normal write verifier in its COPY
result even if the COPY operation is to be performed asynchronously.

If the server recognizes the callback stateid in subsequent
OFFLOAD_STATUS operations, then obviously it has not restarted, and
the write verifier the client received in the COPY result is still
valid and can be used to assess a COMMIT of the copied data, if one
is needed.
