NFS: Fix rpcrdma_inline_fixup() crash with new LISTXATTRS operation

By switching to an XFS-backed export, I am able to reproduce the
ibcomp worker crash on my client with xfstests generic/013.

For the failing LISTXATTRS operation, xdr_inline_pages() is called
with page_len=12 and buflen=128.

- When ->send_request() is called, rpcrdma_marshal_req() does not
  set up a Reply chunk because buflen is smaller than the inline
  threshold. Thus rpcrdma_convert_iovs() does not get invoked at
  all and the transport's XDRBUF_SPARSE_PAGES logic is not invoked
  on the receive buffer.

- During reply processing, rpcrdma_inline_fixup() tries to copy
  received data into rq_rcv_buf->pages because page_len is positive.
  But there are no receive pages because rpcrdma_marshal_req() never
  allocated them.

The result is that the ibcomp worker faults and dies. Sometimes that
causes a visible crash, and sometimes it results in a transport hang
without other symptoms.

RPC/RDMA's XDRBUF_SPARSE_PAGES support is not entirely correct, and
should eventually be fixed or replaced. However, my preference is
that upper-layer operations should explicitly allocate their receive
buffers (using GFP_KERNEL) when possible, rather than relying on
XDRBUF_SPARSE_PAGES.
