Subject: NFSv4: Fix an Oops in the NFSv4 getacl code

From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>

commit 331818f1c468a24e581aedcbe52af799366a9dfe upstream.

Commit bf118a342f10dafe44b14451a1392c3254629a1f (NFSv4: include bitmap
in nfsv4 get acl data) introduces the 'acl_scratch' page for the case
where we may need to decode multi-page data. However it fails to take
into account the fact that the variable may be NULL (for the case where
we're not doing multi-page decode), and it also attaches it to the
encoding xdr_stream rather than the decoding one.

The immediate result is an Oops in nfs4_xdr_enc_getacl due to the
call to page_address() with a NULL page pointer.
