Subject: [PATCH v2] sunrpc: Change ret code of xdr_stream_decode_opaque_fixed

Since the XDR field is fixed in size, the caller already knows how many
bytes were decoded, on success. Thus, xdr_stream_decode_opaque_fixed()
doesn't need to return that value. And, xdr_stream_decode_u32 and _u64
both return zero on success.

Changes in v2:
 - Rebased on nfsd-next
 - Checks for negative return values are not touched
