SUNRPC: Properly set the @subbuf parameter of xdr_buf_subsegment()



commit 89a3c9f5 upstream.

@subbuf is an output parameter of xdr_buf_subsegment(). A survey of
call sites shows that @subbuf is always uninitialized before
xdr_buf_segment() is invoked by callers.

There are some execution paths through xdr_buf_subsegment() that do
not set all of the fields in @subbuf, leaving some pointer fields
containing garbage addresses. Subsequent processing of that buffer
then results in a page fault.
