What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NFSv4: Fix free of uninitialized nfs4_label on referral lookup.

Send along the already-allocated fattr along with nfs4_fs_locations, and

drop the memcpy of fattr. We end up growing two more allocations, but this

fixes up a crash as:
