SUNRPC: Bump the maximum payload size for the server

Increase the maximum server-side RPC payload to 4MB. The default
remains at 1MB.

An API to adjust the operational maximum was added in 2006 by commit
596bbe5 ("[PATCH] knfsd: Allow max size of NFSd payload to be
configured"). To adjust the operational maximum using this API, shut
down the NFS server. Then echo a new value into:

  /proc/fs/nfsd/max_block_size

And restart the NFS server.
