All this indirection is getting a little much.

How about replacing nfsd_process_n_delegations by something that always
does the list-move?:

void nfsd_forget_delegations(u64 num)
{
unsigned int count;
list_head victims;

nfs4_lock_state();
count = nfsd_get_n_delegations(num, &victims);
list_for_each_entry_safe(..., &victims, ...)
unhash_delegation();
unlock_state();
}

ditto for recall_delegations, and take the recall_lock inside
nfsd_get_n_delegations?

Or something like that.
