[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 02/12] nfs: propagate readlink errors in nfs_symlink_filler

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me>

[ Upstream commit 134d0b3f2440cdddd12fc3444c9c0f62331ce6fc ]

There is an inherent race where a symlink file may have been overriden
(by a different client) between lookup and readlink, resulting in a
spurious EIO error returned to userspace. Fix this by propagating back
ESTALE errors such that the vfs will retry the lookup/get_link (similar
to nfs4_file_open) at least once.
