NFSD: Restore NFSv4 decoding's SAVEMEM functionality
While converting the NFSv4 decoder to use xdr_stream-based XDR processing, I removed the old SAVEMEM() macro. This macro wrapped a bit of logic that avoided a memory allocation by recognizing when the decoded item resides in a linear section of the Receive buffer. In that case, it returned a pointer into that buffer instead of allocating a bounce buffer. The bounce buffer is necessary only when xdr_inline_decode() has placed the decoded item in the xdr_stream's scratch buffer, which disappears the next time xdr_inline_decode() is called with that xdr_stream. That happens only if the data item crosses a page boundary in the receive buffer, an exceedingly rare occurrence. Allocating a bounce buffer every time results in a minor performance regression that was introduced by the recent NFSv4 decoder overhaul. Let's restore the previous behavior. On average, it saves about 1.5 kmalloc() calls per COMPOUND. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
