In several places in readdir.c there are calculations of the total size
of a dirent, which contains a few fixed fields plus a name field with
variable size. To add fun every dirent is of a slightly different type:
- struct old_linux_dirent
- struct linux_dirent
- struct linux_dirent64
- struct compat_old_linux_dirent
- struct compat_linux_dirent

Replace ugly size calculation by a macro called dirent_size() which
calculates the size of the structure based on the pointed type and
the name field len.
