["David A. Holland" <dholland%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src

Modified Files:
        src/sys/nfs: nfs_serv.c

Log Message:
Back in -r1.60 of nfs_serv.c (a long time ago) VOP_MKNOD was changed
so nfsd no longer needed to do a lookup() call immediately afterwards
to retrieve the newly created object.

Since that change there has been no way for ISSYMLINK to be set upon
return from VOP_MKNOD (or before the call to VOP_MKNOD either) so
remove the test for it and associated block of dead code.

(I do not understand how this code was reachable before then either.
The logic in question is only reached if no object by that name
existed, and there's no reasonable way that a successful call to
VOP_MKNOD should ever create a symlink. The code appears to come from
4.4lite; maybe they had locking bugs?)
