fs: nfsd: Fix signedness bug in compare_blob

Bugs similar to the one in acbbe6fbb240 (kcmp: fix standard comparison
bug) are in rich supply.

In this variant, the problem is that struct xdr_netobj::len has type
unsigned int, so the expression o1->len - o2->len _also_ has type
unsigned int; it has completely well-defined semantics, and the result
is some non-negative integer, which is always representable in a long
long. But this means that if the conditional triggers, we are
guaranteed to return a positive value from compare_blob.

In this case it could be fixed by

-       res = o1->len - o2->len;
+       res = (long long)o1->len - (long long)o2->len;

but I'd rather eliminate the usually broken 'return a - b;' idiom.
