This is f_ops release, not iops, the normal case is from close. A quick
mod to the code to not do the release in this case but delay it until later
appears to help. Ananth is going to test it on his 100Mbit network and we
will see if this helps. However, should the f_ops release code be the culprit
we may be able to find a simpler way to fix this.
