    nfsd: let nfsd_symlink assume null-terminated data · 52ee0433

    Currently nfsd_symlink has a weird hack to serve callers who don't
    null-terminate symlink data: it looks ahead at the next byte to see if
    it's zero, and copies it to a new buffer to null-terminate if not.
    
    That means callers don't have to null-terminate, but they *do* have to
    ensure that the byte following the end of the data is theirs to read.
    
    That's a bit subtle, and the NFSv4 code actually got this wrong.
    
    So let's just throw out that code and let callers pass null-terminated
    strings; we've already fixed them to do that.
