SUNRPC: Output oversized frag reclen as ASCII if printable
The reclen is taken directly from the first four bytes of the message
with the highest bit stripped, which makes it ripe for protocol mixups.
For example, if someone tries to send a HTTP GET request to us, we'll
interpret it as a 1195725856-sized fragment (ie. (u32)'GET '), and print
a ratelimited KERN_NOTICE with that number verbatim.

This can be confusing for downstream users, who don't know what messages
like "fragment too large: 1195725856" actually mean, or that they
indicate some misconfigured infrastructure elsewhere.

To allow users to more easily understand and debug these cases, add the
number interpreted as ASCII if all characters are printable:

    RPC: fragment too large: 1195725856 (ASCII "GET ")

If demand grows elsewhere, a new printk format that takes a number and
outputs it in various formats is also a possible solution. For now, it
seems reasonable to put this here since this particular code path is the
one that has repeatedly come up in production.
