[RFC PATCH] NFS: Save 4 bytes when re-exporting

[Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>]

When re-exporting, the whole struct nfs_fh is embedded in the new
fhandle.
But we need only nfs_fh->data[], nfs_fh->size is not needed.
So skip fs_fh->size and save a full word (4 bytes).
The downside is the extra memcpy() in nfs_fh_to_dentry().

While investigating into improving NFS re-export I noticed that
we can already save 4 bytes of overhead.
I don't think we need to embedd the full struct nfs_fh and
can skip ->size.

Thanks,
//richard
