* Memory leak when failing to add NFS requests to the I/O queue.

* Out-of-bounds stack write in RDS socket when using RDMA.
When sending an RDMA message over RDS sockets, the stack buffer for
holding the control message is not properly validated as being large
enough to contain the data to be sent. This could potentially cause
other stack variables to be overwritten, causing corruption or a
denial-of-service.
