Since before the git era, NFSD has conserved the number of pages
held by each nfsd thread by combining the RPC receive and send
buffers into a single array of pages. This works because there are
no cases where an operation needs a large RPC Call message and a
large RPC Reply at the same time.
Once an RPC Call has been received, svc_process() updates
svc_rqst::rq_res to describe the part of rq_pages that can be
used for constructing the Reply. This means that the send buffer
(rq_res) shrinks when the received RPC record containing the RPC
Call is large.
Add an NFSv4 helper that computes the size of the send buffer. It
replaces svc_max_payload() in spots where svc_max_payload() returns
a value that might be larger than the remaining send buffer space.
Callers who need to know the transport's actual maximum payload size
will continue to use svc_max_payload().
