Subject: [patch 35/59] knfsd: fix an NFSD bug with full sized, non-page-aligned reads.

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: NeilBrown <[email protected]>

NFSd assumes that largest number of pages that will be needed
for a request+response is 2+N where N pages is the size of the largest
permitted read/write request. The '2' are 1 for the non-data part of
the request, and 1 for the non-data part of the reply.

However, when a read request is not page-aligned, and we choose to use
->sendfile to send it directly from the page cache, we may need N+1
pages to hold the whole reply. This can overflow and array and cause
an Oops.

This patch increases size of the array for holding pages by one and
makes sure that entry is NULL when it is not in use.
