Subject: [ 53/89] NFS: Fix error reporting in nfs_xdev_mount

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

commit dee972b967ae111ad5705733de17a3bfc4632311 upstream.

Currently, nfs_xdev_mount converts all errors from clone_server() to
ENOMEM, which can then leak to userspace (for instance to 'mount'). Fix that.
Also ensure that if nfs_fs_mount_common() returns an error, we
don't dprintk(0)...

The regression originated in commit 3d176e3fe4f6dc379b252bf43e2e146a8f7caf01
(NFS: Use nfs_fs_mount_common() for xdev mounts)
