decode_getdeviceinfo() reads a server-supplied notification bitmap
length into a u32 and scales it by four for xdr_inline_decode(). The
multiply is 32-bit and wraps to 0 for len >= 0x40000000, so the !p
bounds check passes on an empty request and the verify loop reads up to
~2^30 words past the inline XDR buffer. A malicious or compromised pNFS
server, or a man in the middle on an unprotected mount, can drive this
out-of-bounds read while the client decodes a GETDEVICEINFO reply.
RFC 8881 defines only the CHANGE and DELETE deviceid notification bits,
both in word 0, so a conformant reply uses a single word. Bound len to
NFS4_GETDEVICEINFO_NOTIFY_MAXWORDS before scaling, which cannot wrap and
still tolerates trailing zero words the decoder keeps verifying.
Reproduced under KASAN on QEMU via a KUnit case driving the real
decode_getdeviceinfo(); the out-of-bounds read is gone after this change.

Reproduction (v7.1-rc4, x86_64 QEMU/KVM, KASAN):
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in decode_getdeviceinfo
A KUnit case (patch 2) drives the real decode_getdeviceinfo() with a
0x40000000 notification length placed at a page edge; the wrapped 4*len
multiply over-reads the receive buffer on stock and faults. Patched, the
length is rejected with -EIO. Two benign in-bounds controls pass on both
stock and patched. fs/nfs has no existing kselftest for this decoder.

Add a KUnit suite driving the real file-local decode_getdeviceinfo()
over a crafted GETDEVICEINFO reply to cover the notification-bitmap
length pass. It is included into nfs4xdr.c (gated by
CONFIG_NFS_GETDEVICEINFO_KUNIT_TEST) to reach the static decoder without
exporting it.
A trigger supplies the wrapping length and two benign controls drive the
same decoder in bounds. Integer overflow has no sanitizer, so the oracle
is the downstream KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read: on QEMU x86_64 with
KASAN the trigger faults on stock and passes after patch 1, while both
controls pass on stock and fixed trees.

On QEMU x86_64 with KASAN: the trigger faults on stock (slab-out-of-
bounds READ) and passes after patch 1; both benign controls pass on
stock and patched. The suite builds the reply in a kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE)
buffer with the notification fields in the XDR tail.
