[52/87] NFS: Fix a decoding problem in nfs3_decode_dirent

[Greg KH]

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

------------------

[This needs to be applied to 2.6.37 only. The bug in question was
inadvertently fixed by a series of cleanups in 2.6.38, but the patches
in question are too large to be backported. This patch is a minimal fix
that serves the same purpose.]

When we decode a filename followed by an 8-byte cookie, we need to
consider the fact that the filename and cookie are 32-bit word aligned.
Presently, we may end up copying insufficient amounts of data when
xdr_inline_decode() needs to invoke xdr_copy_to_scratch to deal
with a page boundary.

The following patch fixes the issue by first decoding the filename, and
then decoding the cookie.
