nfsd: fix memory corruption caused by readdir
If the result of an NFSv3 readdir{,plus} request results in the "offset" on one entry having to be split across 2 pages, and is sized so that the next directory entry doesn't fit in the requested size, then memory corruption can happen. When encode_entry() is called after encoding the last entry that fits, it notices that ->offset and ->offset1 are set, and so stores the offset value in the two pages as required. It clears ->offset1 but *does not* clear ->offset. Normally this omission doesn't matter as encode_entry_baggage() will be called, and will set ->offset to a suitable value (not on a page boundary). But in the case where cd->buflen < elen and nfserr_toosmall is returned, ->offset is not reset. This means that nfsd3proc_readdirplus will see ->offset with a value 4 bytes before the end of a page, and ->offset1 set to NULL. It will try to write 8bytes to ->offset. If we are lucky, the next page will be read-only, and the system will BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at... If we are unlucky, some innocent page will have the first 4 bytes corrupted. nfsd3proc_readdir() doesn't even check for ->offset1, it just blindly writes 8 bytes to the offset wherever it is. Fix this by clearing ->offset after it is used, and copying the ->offset handling code from nfsd3_proc_readdirplus into nfsd3_proc_readdir.
