NFS: Clean up address comparison in __nfs_find_client()

Browse source

The address comparison in the __nfs_find_client() function is deceptive.
It uses a memcmp() to check a pair of u32 fields for equality.  Not only is
this inefficient, but usually memcmp() is used for comparing two *whole*
sockaddr_in's (which includes comparisons of the address family and port
number), so it's easy to mistake the comparison here for a whole sockaddr
comparison, which it isn't.

So for clarity and efficiency, we replace the memcmp() with a simple test
for equality between the two s_addr fields.  This should have no
behavioral effect.
