[PATCH] knfsd: Correct reserved reply space for read requests.
NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words. However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is a number of bytes. This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful. This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going in to mainline.
