This should always successfully write exactly two 32-bit integers.
Make it clear with an assert(), like v9fs_receive_status() and
v9fs_receive_response() already do when unmarshalling the same
header.

Fixes: Coverity CID 1438968

What's your workload Greg, are you able to push this through your queue?

It's time that I signup for coverity. I'm doing that now before I forget it  
again.

I'll take care of the security issue first, likely later today or tomorrow.
It is generally recommended to have separate PRs for CVEs, in order to
ease the backport effort of downstream vendors.

No hurry for this patch though. It isn't even a bug fix : we really can't
get an error at this point since previous calls to proxy_marshal() in this
function obviously succeeded at writing stuff at higher offsets... So this
is really a cosmetic only change to make Coverity happy.

I might be able to send a PR with this next week or the week after I guess.
