qnx4: work around gcc false positive warning bug

In commit b7213ffa ("qnx4: avoid stringop-overread errors") I tried
to teach gcc about how the directory entry structure can be two
different things depending on a status flag.  It made the code clearer,
and it seemed to make gcc happy.

However, Arnd points to a gcc bug, where despite using two different
members of a union, gcc then gets confused, and uses the size of one of
the members to decide if a string overrun happens.  And not necessarily
the rigth one.

End result: with some configurations, gcc-11 will still complain about
the source buffer size being overread:

  fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function 'qnx4_readdir':
  fs/qnx4/dir.c:76:32: error: 'strnlen' specified bound [16, 48] exceeds source size 1 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
     76 |                         size = strnlen(name, size);
        |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/qnx4/dir.c:26:22: note: source object declared here
