[PATCH v2 3/5] NFSD: Tighten header includes in localio.c

As a prerequisite to converting NFSD to use xdrgen more broadly,
NFSD source files should not depend on NFS client headers.
fs/nfsd/localio.c is server-side LOCALIO code, yet it pulled in
three of them: <linux/nfs_fs.h>, the client inode header (struct
nfs_inode, NFS_I(), writeback helpers), which server code never
uses; <linux/nfs_xdr.h>, whose only referenced symbol is
decode_opaque_fixed(), a static inline that exists to remap the
error return to -EIO for client call sites; and the catch-all
<linux/nfs.h>.

Convert the UUID decoder to call the canonical SUNRPC primitive
xdr_stream_decode_opaque_fixed() directly. It is shared by client
and server, performs the identical bounds check, and is already
reachable through <linux/sunrpc/clnt.h>. With the wrapper gone,
localio.c references no symbol from <linux/nfs_xdr.h>, and with
that header gone, none of the NFSv3 definitions its structs embed
are needed here.

Drop all three client includes and add what the file actually
uses: struct nfs_fh comes from <linux/nfs_fh.h>, included directly
rather than through nfslocalio.h's conditional re-export, and
NFS4_FHSIZE from <linux/nfs4.h>. enum nfs_stat and
nfs_stat_to_errno continue to come from the already-included
<linux/nfs_common.h>.
