NFSD: Allow layoutcommit during grace period

If the loca_reclaim field is set to TRUE, this indicates that the client
is attempting to commit changes to a layout after the restart of the
metadata server during the metadata server's recovery grace period. This
type of request may be necessary when the client has uncommitted writes
to provisionally allocated byte-ranges of a file that were sent to the
storage devices before the restart of the metadata server. See RFC 8881,
section 18.42.3.

Without this, the client is not able to increase the file size and commit
preallocated extents when the block/scsi layout server is restarted
during a write and is in a grace period. And when the grace period ends,
the client also cannot perform layoutcommit because the old layout state
becomes invalid, resulting in file corruption.
