Commit ab04de60ae ("NFSD: Optimize nfsd4_encode_fattr()") replaced
the use of write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() because it's expensive and the
data items to be encoded are already properly aligned.
However, there's no guarantee that the pointer returned from
xdr_reserve_space() will still point to the correct reserved space
in the encode buffer after one or more intervening calls to
xdr_reserve_space(). It just happens to work with the current
implementation of xdr_reserve_space().
This commit effectively reverts the optimization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
