.. now I think we won't have fattr->mode here, more below:

Ah, I see now...  we're going to call ->fsinfo() again (as you stated in the
description).

But I don't see how _CHANGE or _SIZE are used..  and as I was hunting around
there's that check in nfs4_get_rootfh() (above) for S_ISDIR(fattr->mode), but this
dropped the fsinfo call out of nfs4_proc_get_rootfh(), so I think
fattr->mode will never be set.

Gotcha, making sense.  This is tricky for me to review, maybe I should just
test it..  :)
