The NFS server must always return the same inode number for the same
filehandle. To do otherwise is a bug.

The client may expose a different inode number to userspace, but it's
probably the server-provided inode number that it's checking.
(And even if the Linux client didn't currently happen to do that check,
this would still be a bug.)
