[PATCH] Fix i_mutex handling in nfsd readdir.

[David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>]

Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a
bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS
version -- it started to call through into lookup_one_len() and hence
into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the
directory.

This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before
calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit
14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due
to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex.

While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which
should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno.
And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM.
Sparse would have caught both of those if it wasn't so busy bitching
about __cold__.

Commit 05f4f678b introduced a similar problem for NFSv4 which I'm not
going to attempt to deal with before getting some sleep...
