NFS: Slow down state manager after an unhandled error
If the state manager thread is not actually able to fully recover from some situation, it wakes up waiters, who kick off a new state manager thread. Quite often the fresh invocation of the state manager is just as successful. This results in a livelock as the client dumps thousands of NFS requests a second on the network in a vain attempt to recover. Not very friendly. To mitigate this situation, add a delay in the state manager after an unhandled error, so that the client sends just a few requests every second in this case.
