[PATCH] PATCH 3/7: knfsd cleanups - incorrect use of inode_change_ok

Get nfsd_setattr to not put too much weight on inode_change_ok

nfsd_currently calls inode_change_ok and does not try setattr if this fails.
However this is wrong.  If a filesystem defines it's own i_op->setattr, then
it might use a completely different mechanisim for determining what is ok.
nfsd shouldn't assume...

We still use inode_change_ok when normalising NFSv2 "touch" requests, but
only in passing.
