SUNRPC: Fix error return value of svc_addr_len()
The svc_addr_len() helper function returns -EAFNOSUPPORT if it doesn't recognize the address family of the passed-in socket address. However, the return type of this function is size_t, which means -EAFNOSUPPORT is turned into a very large positive value in this case. The check in svc_udp_recvfrom() to see if the return value is less than zero therefore won't work at all. Additionally, handle_connect_req() passes this value directly to memset(). This could cause memset() to clobber a large chunk of memory if svc_addr_len() has returned an error. Currently the address family of these addresses, however, is known to be supported long before handle_connect_req() is called, so this isn't a real risk. Change the error return value of svc_addr_len() to zero, which fits in the range of size_t, and is safer to pass to memset() directly.
