[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 p…

…ermissions problem

In the typical v2/v3 case the only new filehandles used as arguments to
operations are filehandles taken directly off the wire, which don't get
dentries until fh_verify() is called.

But in v4 the filehandles that are arguments to operations were often created
by previous operations (putrootfh, lookup, etc.) using fh_compose, which sets
the dentry in the filehandle without calling nfsd_setuser().

This also means that, for example, if filesystem B is mounted on filesystem A,
and filesystem A is exported without root-squashing, then a client can bypass
the rootsquashing on B using a compound that starts at a filehandle in A,
crosses into B using lookups, and then does stuff in B.
