    svcrdma: Do not add XDR padding to xdr_buf page vector · 6625d091

    An xdr_buf has a head, a vector of pages, and a tail. Each
    RPC request is presented to the NFS server contained in an
    xdr_buf.
    
    The RDMA transport would like to supply the NFS server with only
    the NFS WRITE payload bytes in the page vector. In some common
    cases, that would allow the NFS server to swap those pages right
    into the target file's page cache.
    
    Have the transport's RDMA Read logic put XDR pad bytes in the tail
    iovec, and not in the pages that hold the data payload.
    
    The NFSv3 WRITE XDR decoder is finicky about the lengths involved,
    so make sure it is looking in the correct places when computing
    the total length of the incoming NFS WRITE request.
