NFS: Fix a performance regression in readdir
Ben Coddington reports that commit 311324ad, by adding the function nfs_dir_mapping_need_revalidate() that checks page cache validity on each call to nfs_readdir() causes a performance regression when the directory is being modified. If the directory is changing while we're iterating through the directory, POSIX does not require us to invalidate the page cache unless the user calls rewinddir(). However, we still do want to ensure that we use readdirplus in order to avoid a load of stat() calls when the user is doing an 'ls -l' workload. The fix should be to invalidate the page cache immediately when we're setting the NFS_INO_ADVISE_RDPLUS bit.
