SUNRPC: Use unsigned string lengths in xdr_decode_string_inplace

XDR strings, opaques, and net objects should all use unsigned lengths.
To wit, RFC 4506 says:

4.2.  Unsigned Integer

   An XDR unsigned integer is a 32-bit datum that encodes a non-negative
   integer in the range [0,4294967295].

 ...

4.11.  String

   The standard defines a string of n (numbered 0 through n-1) ASCII
   bytes to be the number n encoded as an unsigned integer (as described
   above), and followed by the n bytes of the string.

After this patch, xdr_decode_string_inplace now matches the other XDR
string and array helpers that take a string length argument.  See:

xdr_encode_opaque_fixed, xdr_encode_opaque, xdr_encode_array
