[PATCH 4/5] nfsd: open-code special directory-hardlink check

["J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>]

We allow the fh_verify caller to specify that any object *except* those
of a given type is allowed, by passing a negative type.  But only one
caller actually uses it.  Open-code that check in the one caller.
