nfsd: Fix handling of negative lengths in read_buf()
The length "nbytes" passed into read_buf should never be negative, but
we check only for too-large values of "nbytes", not for too-small
values. Make nbytes unsigned, so it's clear that the former tests are
sufficient. (Despite this read_buf() currently correctly returns an xdr
error in the case of a negative length, thanks to an unsigned
comparison with size_of() and bounds-checking in kmalloc(). This seems
very fragile, though.)
