This doesn't look correct to me as in 3.8 kernel the tempfh variable
is a 'struct svc_fh' and not a dynamically allocated structure.

This has changed only with commit d50e613 "nfsd4: decrease
nfsd4_encode_fattr stack usage", where tempfh was converted into a
'struct svc_fh *'.

So, I believe you should drop this patch from 3.8.

Cheers,
