nfsd_cache_csum() currently assumes that the server's RPC layer has
been advancing rq_arg.head[0].iov_base as it decodes an incoming
request, because that's the way it used to work. On entry, it
expects that buf->head[0].iov_base points to the start of the NFS
header, and excludes the already-decoded RPC header.

These days however, head[0].iov_base now points to the start of the
RPC header during all processing. It no longer points at the NFS
Call header when execution arrives at nfsd_cache_csum().

In a retransmitted RPC the XID and the NFS header are supposed to
be the same as the original message, but the contents of the
retransmitted RPC header can be different. For example, for krb5,
the GSS sequence number will be different between the two. Thus if
the RPC header is always included in the DRC checksum computation,
the checksum of the retransmitted message might not match the
checksum of the original message, even though the NFS part of these
messages is identical.

The result is that, even if a matching XID is found in the DRC,
the checksum mismatch causes the server to execute the
retransmitted RPC transaction again.
