If we receive a status record that has VNOVNODE set in the abort field,
xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus() and xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus() don't advance
the XDR pointer, thereby corrupting anything subsequent decodes from the
same block of data.
This has the potential to affect AFS.InlineBulkStatus and
YFS.InlineBulkStatus operation, but probably doesn't since the status
records are extracted as individual blocks of data and the buffer pointer
is reset between blocks.
It does affect YFS.RemoveFile2 operation, corrupting the volsync record -
though that is not currently used.
Other operations abort the entire operation rather than returning an error
inline, in which case there is no decoding to be done.
Fix this by unconditionally advancing the xdr pointer.

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.
