From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit ab04de60ae1c ("NFSD: Optimize nfsd4_encode_fattr()") replaced the use of write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() because it's expensive and the data items to be encoded are already properly aligned. However, 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(). This commit effectively reverts the optimization.
