[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 251/268] NFS: Ensure we revalidate attributes before using execute_ok()

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 5c5fc09a1157a11dbe84e6421c3e0b37d05238cb upstream.

Donald Buczek reports that NFS clients can also report incorrect
results for access() due to lack of revalidation of attributes
before calling execute_ok().
Looking closely, it seems chdir() is afflicted with the same problem.

Fix is to ensure we call nfs_revalidate_inode_rcu() or
nfs_revalidate_inode() as appropriate before deciding to trust
execute_ok().
