Subject: [PATCH v3] nfs: keep server info for remounts

With newer kernels that use fs_context for nfs mounts, remounts fail with
-EINVAL.

$ mount -t nfs -o nolock 10.0.0.1:/tmp/test /mnt/test/
$ mount -t nfs -o remount /mnt/test/
mount: mounting 10.0.0.1:/tmp/test on /mnt/test failed: Invalid argument

For remounts, the nfs server address and port are populated by
nfs_init_fs_context and later overwritten with 0x00 bytes by
nfs23_parse_monolithic. The remount then fails as the server address is
invalid.

Fix this by not overwriting nfs server info in nfs23_parse_monolithic if
we're doing a remount.

Fixes: f2aedb713c28 ("NFS: Add fs_context support.")

Dear all,
I'm resending this patch again. The problem that I'm trying to fix is still
present in linux-next. Thanks in advance for any reviews and comments.

I guess that we're taking this path for remounts

do_remount
    fs_context_for_reconfigure
        alloc_fs_context
            init_fs_context == nfs_init_fs_context
               fc->root is set for remounts
               ctx->nfs_server is populated
    parse_monolithic_mount_data
        nfs_fs_context_parse_monolithic
            nfs23_parse_monolithic
               ctx->nfs_server is overwritten with data from mount request

An alternative to checking for !is_remount_fc(fc) would be to check
if (ctx->nfs_server.addrlen == 0)
