[-mm patch] fs/nfsd/vfs.c: fix possible runtime stack corruption

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>]

Compiling 2.6.15-rc5-mm2 with CONFIG_NFSD_V4=n and CONFIG_NFSD_V2_ACL=y 
or CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL=y results due to 
add-vfs_-helpers-for-xattr-operations.patch in the following:

<--  snip  -->

...
  CC [M]  fs/nfsd/vfs.o
fs/nfsd/vfs.c: In function 'nfsd_getxattr':
fs/nfsd/vfs.c:376: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vfs_getxattr'
fs/nfsd/vfs.c: In function 'nfsd_set_posix_acl':
fs/nfsd/vfs.c:1931: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vfs_setxattr'
fs/nfsd/vfs.c:1936: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vfs_removexattr'
...

<--  snip  -->


The possible stack corruption if gcc guessed the types of the parameters 
of any of these functions wrong is obvious.


Given the -Werror-implicit-function-declaration flag, gcc would	
abort compilation in such cases:
