Subject: [PATCH] NFSv4.1: Don't decode skipped layoutgets

commit 085b7a45c63d3da5be155faab9249a5cab224561 upstream.

layoutget's prepare hook can call rpc_exit with status = NFS4_OK (0).
Because of this, nfs4_proc_layoutget can't depend on a 0 status to mean
that the RPC was successfully sent, received and parsed.

To fix this, use the result's len member to see if parsing took place.

This fixes the following OOPS -- calling xdr_init_decode() with a buffer length
0 doesn't set the stream's 'p' member and ends up using uninitialized memory
in filelayout_decode_layout.
