Point taken, however I assume that a reference to the bugzilla report
should suffice. I've therefore updated the commit changelog to read as
follows:

NFS: Fix a possible Oops in fs/nfs/super.c

Sigh... commit 4584f520e1f773082ef44ff4f8969a5d992b16ec (NFS: Fix NFS
mountpoint crossing...) had a slight flaw: server can be NULL if sget()
returned an existing superblock.

Fix the fix by dereferencing s->s_fs_info.

Thanks to Coverity/Adrian Bunk and Frank Filz for spotting the bug.
(See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9647)

Also add in the same namespace Oops fix for NFSv4 in both the mountpoint
crossing case, and the referral case.

Cheers
Trond
