nfsd4: teach encoders to handle reserve_space failures
We've tried to prevent running out of space with COMPOUND_SLACK_SPACE
and special checking in those operations (getattr) whose result can vary
enormously.
However:
- COMPOUND_SLACK_SPACE may be difficult to maintain as we add
more protocol.
- BUG_ON or page faulting on failure seems overly fragile.
- Especially in the 4.1 case, we prefer not to fail compounds
just because the returned result came *close* to session
limits. (Though perfect enforcement here may be difficult.)
- I'd prefer encoding to be uniform for all encoders instead of
having special exceptions for encoders containing, for
example, attributes.
