Subject: nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash fix #2
From: Junjiro R. Okajima <hooanon05@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The previous patch from Alan Cox (Subject: nfsd: fix vm overcommit
crash) fixed the problem where knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs
objects and strict overcommit is set. But the patch forgot supporting
the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is disabled.
This patch copies a part of his fix which is mainly for detecting a bug
earlier.
