Returning an undecorated integer is an age-old trope, but it's
not clear (even to previous experts in this code) that the only
valid return values are 1 and 0. These functions do not return
a negative errno, rpc_stat value, or a positive length.

Document there are only two valid return values by having
.pc_encode return only true or false.

<title>SUNRPC: Replace the "__be32 *p" parameter to .pc_encode</title>

The passed-in value of the "__be32 *p" parameter is now unused in
every server-side XDR encoder, and can be removed.

Note also that there is a line in each encoder that sets up a local
pointer to a struct xdr_stream. Passing that pointer from the
dispatcher instead saves one line per encoder function.

Micro-optimization: The last user of the generic SVC dispatch code
path has been removed, so svc_process_common() can be simplified.
This declutters the hot path so that the by-far most common case
(a dispatch function exists) is made the /only/ path.

<title>NFSD: Have legacy NFSD WRITE decoders use xdr_stream_subsegment()</title>

Refactor.

Now that the NFSv2 and NFSv3 XDR decoders have been converted to
use xdr_streams, the WRITE decoder functions can use
xdr_stream_subsegment() to extract the WRITE payload into its own
xdr_buf, just as the NFSv4 WRITE XDR decoder currently does.

That makes it possible to pass the first kvec, pages array + length,
page_base, and total payload length via a single function parameter.

The payload's page_base is not yet assigned or used, but will be in
subsequent patches.

Replacing a page in rq_pages[] requires a get_page(), which is a
bus-locked operation, and a put_page(), which can be even more
costly.

To reduce the cost of replacing a page in rq_pages[], batch the
put_page() operations by collecting "freed" pages in a pagevec,
and then release those pages when the pagevec is full. This
pagevec is also emptied when each RPC completes.
