This patch adds a missing conditional group that has been causing build

CONFIG_NFSD_v3 is not set.

This patch applies against linux-next.

You'll want to include and example of the build failure in the description,
bisect results after the '---' line, and a Fixes: line pointing to the patch
breaking the build.

In this case, I am not sure if the above really fixes the problem,
or if it just hides it behind an #ifdef. To determine that, it will
probably be necessary to know which patch actually caused the problem.
This even more true since the code in question was not changed since
around 2010, so making it conditional looks really suspicious.

In the curent case, I suspect that the problem may have been introduced by
commit 9cf514ccfac ("nfsd: implement pNFS operations"). That is just a guess,
though; I didn't run bisect myself. The key really is to figure out why the
code now fails to build, and not just to comment out the code that is causing
the failure.

Yeah, when Jim Davis reported this I took a quick look at the history,
didn't see an obvious explanation, and figured well maybe this is just
the first time anyone's hit that particular config in a while.  Sounds
like this actually is a recent regression?


It was intruduced by 9cf514ccfac. Problem is that xdr4.h is only supposed to
be used and included by NFSv4 code but is now included even if NFSv3 and/or
NFSv4 are not configured. The variables in fhp accessed above do not exist
unless NFSv3 is configured.

The patch here is therefore really just a kludge, though I don't really know
an easy real fix.

If you ask me, I'd say that 9cf514ccfac was rushed into mainline a bit.
It showed up in next on Feb 10 and pushed into mainline just a day or two
later. Result is that every build with NFS configured but not NSFv3 is
now broken.
