When revoking delegation state, nfsd4_revoke_states() takes an extra
reference on the stid before calling unhash_delegation_locked(). If
unhash_delegation_locked() returns false (the delegation was already
unhashed by a concurrent path), dp is set to NULL and
revoke_delegation() is skipped, but the extra reference is never
released. Each occurrence permanently pins the stid in memory. The
leaked reference also prevents nfs4_put_stid() from decrementing
cl_admin_revoked, leaving the counter permanently inflated.

Drop the extra reference in the failure path.
