xprtrdma: Replace use of xdr_stream_pos in rpcrdma_marshal_req
This is a latent bug. xdr_stream_pos works by subtracting xdr_stream::nwords from xdr_buf::len. But xdr_stream::nwords is not initialized by xdr_init_encode(). It works today only because all fields in rpcrdma_req::rl_stream are initialized to zero by rpcrdma_req_create, making the subtraction in xdr_stream_pos always a no-op. I found this issue via code inspection. It was introduced by commit 39f4cd9e ("xprtrdma: Harden chunk list encoding against send buffer overflow"), but the code has changed enough since then that this fix can't be automatically applied to stable.
