J. Bruce Fields 082f31a216 nfsd: revert v2 half of "nfsd: don't return high mode bits" ...

This reverts the part of commit 6e14b46b91
that changes NFSv2 behavior.

Mark Lord found that it broke nfs-root for Linux clients, because it
broke NFSv2.

In fact, from RFC 1094:

	"Notice that the file type is specified both in the mode bits
	and in the file type.  This is really a bug in the protocol and
	will be fixed in future versions."

So NFSv2 clients really are expected to depend on the high bits of the
mode.
