[PATCH v2] nfsd: release OPEN-decoded posix ACLs via op_release

[Jeff Layton]

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 to avoid double-releasing.

The compound loop has two encoding branches: nfsd4_encode_operation()
for normal ops, and nfsd4_encode_replay() for v4.0 replayed ops.
op_release was only called from nfsd4_encode_operation(), so resources
attached to op->u leak on the replay path. Add an op_release call to
the replay branch as well to ensure cleanup on every path.
