Subject: nfsd: return errors, not NULL, from export functions
From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I converted the various export-returning functions to return -ENOENT instead
of NULL, but missed a few cases.
This particular case could cause actual bugs in the case of a krb5 client that
doesn't match any ip-based client and that is trying to access a filesystem
not exported to krb5 clients.
