I think failing the "_nofail" variant is the wrong thing to do.  This
is called to allocate a FLUSH request on close() and in readdirplus to
allocate a FORGET request.  Failing the latter results in refcount
leak in userspace.   Failing the former results in missing unlock on
close() of posix locks.
