So I ended up merging this very differently from  how you did it.

I just wrapped 'nfs_local_call_read()' for the cred guarding the same
way the 'nfs_local_call_write()' side had been done.

That made it much easier to see that the changes by Mike were carried
over, and seems cleaner anyway.

But it would be good if people double-checked my change. It looks
"ObviouslyCorrect(tm)" to me, but...
