Update the encoder function name to match the type name, as is the convention with other such encoder utility functions, and with nfsd4_decode_stateid4(). Make the @stateid argument a const so that callers of nfsd4_encode_stateid4() in the future can be passed const pointers to structures. Since the compiler is allowed to add padding to structs, use the wire (spec-defined) size when reserving buffer space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
