nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash fix #2
The previous patch from Alan Cox ("nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash", commit 731572d39fcd3498702eda4600db4c43d51e0b26) fixed the problem where knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs objects and strict overcommit is set. But the patch forgot supporting the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is disabled. This patch copies a part of his fix which is mainly for detecting a bug earlier.
