Subject: [PATCH] fs: nfsd: Fix three possible null-pointer dereferences

In nfs4_xdr_dec_cb_recall(), nfs4_xdr_dec_cb_layout() and
nfs4_xdr_dec_cb_notify_lock(), there is an if statement to check whether
cb is NULL.

When cb is NULL, the three functions all call:
    decode_cb_op_status(..., &cb->cb_status);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these possible bugs, -EINVAL is returned when cb is NULL.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
