Subject: nfsd4: fix READ permission checking

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>

commit 6e4891dc289cd191d46ab7ba1dcb29646644f9ca upstream.

In the case we already have a struct file (derived from a stateid), we still need to do permission-checking; otherwise an unauthorized user could gain access to a file by sniffing or guessing somebody else's stateid.
