nfsd: Fix creation time serialization order
[ Upstream commit d7dbed457c2ef83709a2a2723a2d58de43623449 ]
In nfsd4_encode_fattr(), TIME_CREATE was being written out after all
other times. However, they should be written out in an order that
matches the bit flags in bmval1, which in this case are
#define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_ACCESS (1UL << 15)
#define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_CREATE (1UL << 18)
#define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_DELTA (1UL << 19)
#define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_METADATA (1UL << 20)
#define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_MODIFY (1UL << 21)
so TIME_CREATE should come second.
I noticed this on a FreeBSD NFSv4.2 client, which supports creation
times. On this client, file times were weirdly permuted. With this
patch applied on the server, times looked normal on the client.
