Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: Don't overuse NFS?ERR_PERM error code

From: Pawel Dziepak <pdziepak@...rnos.org>

Unlike EPERM, NFS?ERR_PERM error code applies only when the operation could
not be completed because the caller is either not the owner or not a
privileged user. Actually, only OPEN, CREATE and SETATTR are supposed to
ever return such error code when a problem occurs when changing or setting
access permissions.

Generally, this patch replaces NFS?ERR_PERM with NFS?ERR_ACCESS which is a more
appropriate error code indicating that the caller is not allowed to perform the
requested operation.

In case of incorrect {file,directory} names either NFS?ERR_INVAL or
NFS4ERR_BADNAME is returned.

Opening for write files with append-only bit set or mandatory locking enabled
results in NFS4ERR_SHARE_DENIED.
