LU-8585 llite: don't cache MDS_OPEN_LOCK for volatile files
The kernels knfsd constantly opens and closes files for each
access which can result in a continuous stream of open+close RPCs
being send to the MDS. To avoid this Lustre created a special
flag, ll_nfs_dentry, which enables caching of the MDS_OPEN_LOCK
on the client. The fhandles API also uses the same exportfs layer
as NFS which indirectly ends up caching the MDS_OPEN_LOCK as well.
This is okay for normal files except for Lustre's special volatile
files that are used for HSM restore. It is expected on the last
close of a Lustre volatile file that it is no longer accessable.
To ensure this behavior is kept don't cache MDS_OPEN_LOCK for
volatile files.
