Here's the corresponding change for kernels without

	static inline int fh_want_write(struct svc_fh *fh)
	{
		return mnt_want_write(fh->fh_export->ex_path.mnt);
	}

from v3.3-rc1~170^2~81 ("new helpers: fh_{want,drop}_write()"),
such as the 3.0.y kernel.  Thoughts and testing welcome as usual.

commit 96f6f98501196d46ce52c2697dd758d9300c63f5 upstream.

..._want_write() returns -EROFS on failure, _not_ an NFS error value.
