[PATCH 5/6] nfsd: release OPEN-decoded posix ACLs via op_release

[Jeff Layton]

From: Chris Mason <clm@xxxxxxxx>

nfsd4_decode_createhow4() calls nfsd4_decode_fattr4(), which allocates
refcounted struct posix_acl objects via posix_acl_alloc() and stores
them in open->op_pacl and open->op_dpacl. These pointers must be
released once the OPEN compound finishes.

When nfsd4_decode_open_claim4() returns a non-seqid-mutating error,
the dispatcher short-circuits before op_func runs:

    nfsd4_proc_compound()
      opdesc->op_func == nfsd4_open_omfg
        if (!seqid_mutating_err(ntohl(op->status)))
            return op->status;   /* nfsd4_open() never runs */
      opdesc->op_release(&op->u)  /* must still release op_pacl/op_dpacl */

Before this change OP_OPEN had no .op_release in nfsd4_ops[], and the
release pair lived inside nfsd4_open() at its out_err: label. On the
short-circuit path nfsd4_open() is never invoked, so both posix_acl
refs leak on every malformed OPEN compound that carries valid POSIX
ACL createhow4 attributes.

Add nfsd4_open_release() and wire it as .op_release for OP_OPEN.
posix_acl_release() is NULL-safe, so the single release site covers
both the normal path and the nfsd4_open_omfg short-circuit. Remove
the matching posix_acl_release() pair from nfsd4_open()'s out_err:
label: the compound dispatcher calls op_release unconditionally after
every op, so leaving the in-function pair in place would double-release
op_pacl and op_dpacl on every ACL-bearing OPEN that reaches
nfsd4_open(), underflowing the refcount and freeing the posix_acl
while it is still reachable through op->u.
