Like the following?  That passes my test.  I wouldn't have thought of
doing it that way because I wouldn't know how to check that

	- the change will only affect nfsd and the handle ioctls, and
	- those are the only two places under xfs_iget that will
	  generate an ENOENT (which will never be the right error return
	  on failure to find a filehandle).

If those are true, great.

--b.

    xfs: failure mapping nfs fh to inode should return ESTALE
    
    On xfs exports, nfsd is incorrectly returning ENOENT instead of ESTALE
    on attempts to use a filehandle of a deleted file (spotted with pynfs
    test PUTFH3).  The ENOENT was coming from xfs_iget.
    
    While we're at it, the other return of ENOENT in xfs_nfs_get_inode()
    also looks wrong.
