Revalidate caches on lock
Instead of blindly zapping the caches, attempt to revalidate them if the server has indicated that it uses high resolution timestamps. NFSv4 should be able to always revalidate the cache since the protocol requires the update of the change attribute on modification of the data. In reality, there are servers (the Linux NFS server for example) that do not obey this requirement and use ctime as the basis for change attribute. Long term, the server needs to be fixed. At this time, and to be on the safe side, continue zapping caches if the server indicates that it does not have a high resolution timestamp.
