If LISTXATTRS is sent with a correct cookie but a small maxcount,
this could lead function nfsd4_listxattr_validate_cookie to
return NFS4ERR_BAD_COOKIE. If maxcount = 20, then second check
on function gives RHS = 3 thus any cookie larger than 3 returns
NFS4ERR_BAD_COOKIE.

There is no need to validate the cookie on the return XDR buffer
since attribute referenced by cookie will be the first in the
return buffer.

Fixes: 23e50fe3a5e6 ("nfsd: implement the xattr functions and en/decode logic")

The cookie is generated by the server, and the client generates the
maxcount value. They don't really have anything to do with one another,
so yeah, I agree that this check is nonsensical.
