Hi,

    libceph: follow redirect replies from osds

Specifically in function ceph_redirect_decode in net/ceph/osd_client.c:

3485
3486        len = ceph_decode_32(p);

CID 17904: Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE)

3487        *p += len; /* skip osd_instructions */
3488
3489        /* skip the rest */
3490        *p = struct_end;

The double write to *p looks wrong, I suspect the *p += len; should be
just incrementing pointer p as in: p += len.  Am I correct to assume
this is the correct fix?
