Chuck Lever dd1fd90fe6 SUNRPC: Display compressed (shorthand) IPv6 presentation addresses
Recent changes to snprintf() introduced the %pI6c formatter, which can
display an IPv6 address with standard shorthanding.  Using a
shorthanded address can save us a few bytes of memory for each stored
presentation address, or a few bytes on the wire when sending these in
a universal address.

Chuck Lever 1e360a60b2 SUNRPC: Address buffer overrun in rpc_uaddr2sockaddr()
The size of buf[] must account for the string termination needed for
the first strict_strtoul() call.  Introduced in commit a02d6926.

Fábio Olivé Leite points out that strict_strtoul() requires _either_
'\n\0' _or_ '\0' termination, so use the simpler '\0' here instead.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14546 .

Chuck Lever a02d692611 SUNRPC: Provide functions for managing universal addresses
Introduce a set of functions in the kernel's RPC implementation for
converting between a socket address and either a standard
presentation address string or an RPC universal address.

The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode
RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments.  The other functions are
part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be
used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP
addresses.

The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed
specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular
string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the
purposes of sunrpc.ko.  The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does
not support short-handing or scope IDs.  Also, these printf formatters
are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is
required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.
