    NFS: Simplify ->decode_dirent() calling sequence · 573c4e1e

    Clean up.
    
    The pointer returned by ->decode_dirent() is no longer used as a
    pointer.  The only call site (xdr_decode() in fs/nfs/dir.c) simply
    extracts the errno value encoded in the pointer.  Replace the
    returned pointer with a standard integer errno return value.
    
    Also, pass the "server" argument as part of the nfs_entry instead of
    as a separate parameter.  It's faster to derive "server" in
    nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() since we already have the directory's inode
    handy.  "server" ought to be invariant for a set of entries in the
    same directory, right?
    
    The legacy versions of decode_dirent() don't use "server" anyway, so
    it's wasted work for them to derive and pass "server" for each entry.
