NeilBrown cd15654963 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: oops exporting nonexistent directory ...

Export a directory that does not exist:
	exportfs -orw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check client:/home/NFS4

Try to mount from client with nfs4. Mount hangs (I'm not sure why -
that's another issue).

While client is hung, back on server

	mkdir /home/NFS4

The server panics in dput.  I traced the problem back to svc_export_parse()
calling path_release() even though path_lookup() failed (it happens to fill in
the nameidata structure with a negative dentry - so the test after out:
succeeds).

After patching, an recreating the problem, the client mount still takes some
time before finally exiting with a message "couldn't read superblock".

Here is a simple patch to resolve this issue:
