The purpose of this series is to replace the svc_put* macros in the
Linux kernel server's RPC reply header construction code with
xdr_stream helpers. I've measured no change in CPU utilization after
the overhaul.

Memory safety: Buffer bounds checking after encoding each XDR item
is more memory-safe than the current mechanism. Subsequent memory
safety improvements to the common xdr_stream helpers will benefit
all who use them.

Audit friendliness: The new code has additional comments and other
clean-up to help align it with the relevant RPC protocol
specifications. The use of common helpers also makes the encoders
easier to audit and maintain.

I've split the full series in half to make it easier to review. The
patches posted here are the second half, handling RPC reply header
encoding.

Note that another benefit of this work is that we are taking one or
two more strides closer to greater commonality between the client
and server implementations of RPCSEC GSS.
