NFSD: Insulate nfsd4_encode_fattr4() from page boundaries in the encode buffer

Commit ab04de6 ("NFSD: Optimize nfsd4_encode_fattr()") replaced
the use of write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() because it's expensive and the
data items to be encoded are already properly aligned.

However, there's no guarantee that the pointer returned from
xdr_reserve_space() will still point to the correct reserved space
in the encode buffer after one or more intervening calls to
xdr_reserve_space(). It just happens to work with the current
implementation of xdr_reserve_space().

This commit effectively reverts the optimization.
