I think we assume (wrongly) that xdr_inline_decode() will kick
back any length request that is larger than the xdr_stream's
xdr_buf. Here, the test could be the same: any @length value that is
larger than xdr->buf->len is bogus.

Another way to avoid the overflow would be to split the decode of
the tag and the following op count field. Untested:

        length = be32_to_cpup(p);
        p = xdr_inline_decode(xdr, length);
        if (unlikely(p == NULL))
                goto out_overflow;
	if (xdr_stream_decode_u32(xdr, &hdr->nops) < 0)
                goto out_overflow;

I have generally been using this approach in other NFSD XDR decoding
functions.

I wonder how many other xdr_inline_decode() call sites have a
similar issue.
