[PATCH v4 6/9] NFSD: Insulate nfsd4_encode_readlink() from page boundaries in the encode buffer

[cel@kernel.org]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

There's no guarantee that the pointer returned from
xdr_reserve_space() will still point to the correct reserved space
in the encode buffer after one or more intervening calls to
xdr_reserve_space(). It just happens to work with the current
implementation of xdr_reserve_space().
