knfsd: nfsd: make all exp_finding functions return -errno's on err
Currently exp_find(), exp_get_by_name(), and friends, return an export on
success, and on failure return:
errors -EAGAIN (drop this request pending an upcall) or
-ETIMEDOUT (an upcall has timed out), or
return NULL, which can mean either that there was a memory allocation
failure, or that an export was not found, or that a passed-in
export lacks an auth_domain.
Many callers seem to assume that NULL means that an export was not found,
which may lead to bugs in the case of a memory allocation failure.
Modify these functions to distinguish between the two NULL cases by returning
either -ENOENT or -ENOMEM. They now never return NULL. We get to simplify
some code in the process.
We return -ENOENT in the case of a missing auth_domain. This case should
probably be removed (or converted to a bug) after confirming that it can never
happen.
