    volser: Fix broken bulk conversion
    
    The converstions between the original, N and U bulk list return
    values were all broken in various ways:
    
    1/ Shifting from malloc to xdr_alloc() (in 4f1efdc8b73ed)
       subtly changed the behaviour when handling an empty list. The
       correct XDR representation of an empty list is {0, NULL}, not
       {0, &memZero}. Fix the code so that if the source list is empty,
       an empty destination list is returned.
    2/ The destination list length was never being filled in. This means
       that xdr_free() could not be safely used on this list, as the wrong
       length would be passed to the allocator. Fill in the destination
       list length as part of the conversion.
    3/ xdr_free(...) is a no-op when called with an empty list - there's
       no need to check before calling it. Remove these checks to improve
       the code's readability.
    4/ xdr_free(...) should only be called when the RPC returned
       sucessfully. The stub is responsible for freeing data should the call
       fail mid way through unmarshalling.
    5/ Where an RPC returns the number of entries independently of the
       length of a counted array, it is unsafe to use that length to
       iterate the array without checking that it is within the array
       bounds. Instead, just use the array length when performing
       conversions.
