[PATCH 04/51] [GFS2] GFS2 not checking pointer on create when running under nfsd

[swhiteho@redhat.com]

From: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>

When looking at an unrelated problem, I noticed that nfsd does not
set nameidata pointer on create (ie nd is NULL).  This should
cause an oops in some cases in which when NFSd is mounted over GFS2.
