SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API
Now that all client-side XDR encoder routines use xdr_streams, there
should be no need to support the legacy calling sequence [rpc_rqst *,
__be32 *, RPC arg *] anywhere. We can construct an xdr_stream in the
generic RPC code, instead of in each encoder function.
Also, all the client-side encoder functions return 0 now, making a
return value superfluous. Take this opportunity to convert them to
return void instead.
This is a refactoring change. It should not cause different behavior.
