NFSD: da_addr_body field missing in some GETDEVICEINFO replies

The XDR specification in RFC 8881 looks like this:

struct device_addr4 {
	layouttype4	da_layout_type;
	opaque		da_addr_body<>;
};

struct GETDEVICEINFO4resok {
	device_addr4	gdir_device_addr;
	bitmap4		gdir_notification;
};

union GETDEVICEINFO4res switch (nfsstat4 gdir_status) {
case NFS4_OK:
	GETDEVICEINFO4resok gdir_resok4;
case NFS4ERR_TOOSMALL:
	count4		gdir_mincount;
default:
	void;
};

Looking at nfsd4_encode_getdeviceinfo() ....

When the client provides a zero gd_maxcount, then the Linux NFS
server implementation encodes the da_layout_type field and then
skips the da_addr_body field completely, proceeding directly to
encode gdir_notification field.

There does not appear to be an option in the specification to skip
encoding da_addr_body. Moreover, Section 18.40.3 says:

> If the client wants to just update or turn off notifications, it
> MAY send a GETDEVICEINFO operation with gdia_maxcount set to zero.
> In that event, if the device ID is valid, the reply's da_addr_body
> field of the gdir_device_addr field will be of zero length.

Since the layout drivers are responsible for encoding the
da_addr_body field, put this fix inside the ->encode_getdeviceinfo
methods.
