Subject: svcrdma: underflow issue in decode_write_list()

commit b2781e1021525649c0b33fffd005ef219da33926 upstream.

My static checker marks everything from ntohl() as untrusted and it
complains we could have an underflow problem doing:

	return (u32 *)&ary->wc_array[nchunks];

Also on 32 bit systems the upper bound check could overflow.
