NFS: Prevent memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode()
nfsacl_encode() allocates memory in certain cases. This of course is not guaranteed to work. Since commit 9f06c719 "SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API", the kernel's XDR encoders can't return a result indicating possibly a failure, so a memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode() has become fatal (ie, the XDR code Oopses) in some cases. However, the allocated memory is a tiny fixed amount, on the order of 40-50 bytes. We can easily use a stack-allocated buffer for this, with only a wee bit of nose-holding.
