nfsd: catch errors in decode_fattr earlier
3c8e03166ae2 "NFSv4: do exact check about attribute specified" fixed
some handling of unsupported-attribute errors, but it also delayed
checking for unwriteable attributes till after we decode them. This
could lead to odd behavior in the case a client attemps to set an
attribute we don't know about followed by one we try to parse. In that
case the parser for the known attribute will attempt to parse the
unknown attribute. It should fail in some safe way, but the error might
at least be incorrect (probably bad_xdr instead of inval). So, it's
better to do that check at the start.
As far as I know this doesn't cause any problems with current clients
but it might be a minor issue e.g. if we encounter a future client that
supports a new attribute that we currently don't.
