pNFS: Fix a deadlock when returning a delegation during open()

The issue is that the delegreturn is being asked to wait for a layout return that cannot complete because a state recovery was initiated. The state recovery cannot complete until the open() finishes processing the delegations it was given.
The solution is to propagate the existing flags that indicate a non-blocking call to the function pnfs_roc(), so that it knows not to wait in this situation.
