4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 06aae592425701851e02bb850cb9f4997f0ae163 upstream. The boolean want is not initialized and hence garbage. The default should be false (later it is only set to true on tne sinfo->authattrs check).
