Subject: [PATCH] nfsd4: recheck for secure ports in fh_verify

As with

	7fc90ec93a5eb71f4b08... "call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose()..."

this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.

Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.

While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()
to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam
the logs.
