[PATCH 006 of 8] knfsd: exportfs: move acceptable check into find_acceptable_alias

[NeilBrown]

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

All callers of find_acceptable_alias check if the current dentry
is acceptable before looking for other acceptable aliases using
find_acceptable_alias.  Move the check into find_acceptable_alias
to make the code a little more dense and add a comment to
find_acceptable_alias that documents its intent.
