Subject: [PATCH 2/5] nfsd: return errors, not NULL, from export functions

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@...i.umich.edu>

I converted the various export-returning functions to return -ENOENT
instead of NULL, but missed a few cases.

This particular case could cause actual bugs in the case of a krb5
client that doesn't match any ip-based client and that is trying to
access a filesystem not exported to krb5 clients.
