Subject: [PATCH] fs: nfsd: Fix three possible null-pointer dereferences

In nfs4_xdr_dec_cb_recall(), nfs4_xdr_dec_cb_layout() and
nfs4_xdr_dec_cb_notify_lock(), there is an if statement to check whether
cb is NULL.

When cb is NULL, the three functions all call:
decode_cb_op_status(..., &cb->cb_status);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these possible bugs, -EINVAL is returned when cb is NULL.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

nfsd: Remove unnecessary NULL checks

"cb" is never actually NULL in these functions.

On a quick skim of the history, they seem to have been there from the
beginning. I'm not sure if they originally served a purpose.

Thanks! But I think actually the correct fix is just to remove the NULL
checks entirely.
