Subject: nfsd: make sure to balance get/put_write_access
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 987da4791052fa298b7cfcde4dea9f6f2bbc786b upstream.
Use a straight goto error label style in nfsd_setattr to make sure
we always do the put_write_access call after we got it earlier.
Note that the we have been failing to do that in the case
nfsd_break_lease() returns an error, a bug introduced into 2.6.38 with
6a76bebefe15d9a08864f824d7f8d5beaf37c997 "nfsd4: break lease on nfsd
setattr".
