3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>

commit 082f31a2169bd639785e45bf252f3d5bce0303c6 upstream.

This reverts the part of commit 6e14b46b91fee8a049b0940333ce13a820beaaa5
that changes NFSv2 behavior.

Mark Lord found that it broke nfs-root for Linux clients, because it
broke NFSv2.

In fact, from RFC 1094:

        "Notice that the file type is specified both in the mode bits
        and in the file type.  This is really a bug in the protocol and
        will be fixed in future versions."

So NFSv2 clients really are expected to depend on the high bits of the
mode.
