We're unnecessarily limiting the size of an ACL to less than what most
filesystems will support. Some users do hit the limit and it's
confusing and unnecessary.
It still seems prudent to impose some limit on the number of ACEs the
client gives us before passing it straight to kmalloc(). So, let's just
limit it to the maximum number that would be possible given the amount
of data left in the argument buffer.
That will still leave one limit beyond whatever the filesystem imposes:
the client and server negotiate a limit on the size of a request, which
we have to respect.
But we're no longer imposing any additional arbitrary limit.
struct nfs4_ace is 20 bytes on my system and the maximum call size we'll
negotiate is about a megabyte, so in practice this is limiting the
allocation here to about a megabyte.

This is a not-that-useful kmalloc wrapper. And I'd like one of the
callers to actually use something other than kmalloc.

This is a cosmetic change for now; no change in behavior.
Note we're just depending on xdr_reserve_space to do the bounds checking
for us, we're not really depending on its adjustment of iovec or xdr_buf
lengths yet, as those are fixed up by as necessary after the fact by
read-link operations and by nfs4svc_encode_compoundres. However we do
have to update xdr->iov on read-like operations to prevent
xdr_reserve_space from messing with the already-fixed-up length of the
the head.
When the attribute encoding fails partway through we have to undo the
length adjustments made so far. We do it manually for now, but later
patches will add an xdr_truncate_encode() helper to handle cases like
this.

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
- Handle some loose ends from the vfs read delegation support.
(For example nfsd can stop breaking leases on its own in a
fewer places where it can now depend on the vfs to.)
- Make life a little easier for NFSv4-only configurations
(thanks to Kinglong Mee).
- Fix some gss-proxy problems (thanks Jeff Layton).
- miscellaneous bug fixes and cleanup

Remove the boilerplate code to marshall and unmarhall ACL objects into
xattrs and operate on the posix_acl objects directly. Also move all
the ACL handling code into nfs?acl.c where it belongs.
