Joy...  ERR_PTR(-EPERM) in nd.intent.file, and whoever had called
lookup_instantiate_filp() hadn't bothered to check the return value.

OK, I think I see what's going on.  Replace
                                lookup_instantiate_filp(nd, (struct dentry *)state, NULL);
                                return 1;
with
                                lookup_instantiate_filp(nd, (struct dentry *)state, NULL);
                                return state;
in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c:nfs4_open_revalidate() and see if everything works
properly (or just lose the lookup_instantiate_filp() in there and simply
return state).
