Subject: [PATCH 3.11 083/233] sunrpc: don't wait for write before allowing reads from use-gss-proxy file

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

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

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@...hat.com>

commit 1654a04cd702fd19c297c36300a6ab834cf8c072 upstream.

It doesn't make much sense to make reads from this procfile hang. As
far as I can tell, only gssproxy itself will open this file and it
never reads from it. Change it to just give the present setting of
sn->use_gss_proxy without waiting for anything.

Note that we do not want to call use_gss_proxy() in this codepath
since an inopportune read of this file could cause it to be disabled
prematurely.
