Subject: [PATCH] ext4: call vfs llseek code from ext4_dir_llseek

ext4_dir_llseek can call the vfs llseek functions and get all the
the functionality needed by the NFS server.

For htree directories, we call the _sized() variant with the
maximum allowable hash value.  For non-htree, we can call
ext4_file_llseek, which will sort out the maximum allowable
offset based on whether the dir is extent based or not.

This does lose the special SEEK_END handling of going to the
max hash size, but I know of no usecase for that and no bugs,
despite SEEK_END going to i_size and not the hash EOF for
many years now, so I don't think the cut & paste is warranted.
The vfs function can be expanded if it's critical.

This also returns dir llseek to it's (mostly) lockless
implementation.
