[RFC 12/13] cifs: Fix problem with encrypted RDMA data read

When the cifs client is talking to the ksmbd server by RDMA and the ksmbd
server has "smb3 encryption = yes" in its config file, the normal PDU
stream is encrypted, but the directly-delivered data isn't in the stream
(and isn't encrypted), but is rather delivered by DDP/RDMA packets (at
least with IWarp).

Currently, the direct delivery fails with:

buf can not contain only a part of read data
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4619 at fs/cifs/smb2ops.c:4731 handle_read_data+0x393/0x405
...
RIP: 0010:handle_read_data+0x393/0x405
...
smb3_handle_read_data+0x30/0x37
receive_encrypted_standard+0x141/0x224
cifs_demultiplex_thread+0x21a/0x63b
kthread+0xe7/0xef
ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

The problem apparently stemming from the fact that it's trying to manage
the decryption, but the data isn't in the smallbuf, the bigbuf or the page
array).

This can be fixed simply by inserting an extra case into handle_read_data()
that checks to see if use_rdma_mr is true, and if it is, just setting
rdata->got_bytes to the length of data delivered and allowing normal
continuation.

This can be seen in an IWarp packet trace. With the upstream code, it does
a DDP/RDMA packet, which produces the warning above and then retries,
retrieving the data inline, spread across several SMBDirect messages that
get glued together into a single PDU. With the patch applied, only the
DDP/RDMA packet is seen.

Note that this doesn't happen if the server isn't told to encrypt stuff and
it does also happen with softRoCE.
