Subject: nfsd4: fix xdr decoding of large non-write compounds

commit 365da4adebb1c012febf81019ad3dc5bb52e2a13 upstream.

This fixes a regression from 247500820ebd02ad87525db5d9b199e5b66f6636
"nfsd4: fix decoding of compounds across page boundaries".  The previous
code was correct: argp->pagelist is initialized in
nfs4svc_deocde_compoundargs to rqstp->rq_arg.pages, and is therefore a
pointer to the page *after* the page we are currently decoding.

The reason that patch nevertheless fixed a problem with decoding
compounds containing write was a bug in the write decoding introduced by
5a80a54d21c96590d013378d8c5f65f879451ab4 "nfsd4: reorganize write
decoding", after which write decoding no longer adhered to the rule that
argp->pagelist point to the next page.

[ luis: backported to 3.5: simply revert 2475008 "nfsd4: fix decoding of
  compounds across page boundaries":
  - adjusted 1st hunk to modify read_buf() instead of next_decode_page()
  - dropped 2nd hunk ]
