sunrpc: increase UNX_MAXNODENAME from 32 to __NEW_UTS_LEN bytes

The current limit of 32 bytes artificially limits the name string that
we end up stuffing into NFSv4.x client ID blobs. If you have multiple
hosts with long hostnames that only differ near the end, then this can
cause NFSv4 client ID collisions.

Linux nodenames are actually limited to __NEW_UTS_LEN bytes (64), so use
that as the limit instead. Also, use XDR_QUADLEN to specify the slack
length, just for clarity and in case someone in the future changes this
to something not evenly divisible by 4.
