Btrfs: fix missing last-entry in readdir(3)

When one does a 32-bit readdir(3), the last entry of a directory is
missing. This is however not due to passing a large value to filldir,
but it seems to have to do with glibc doing telldir or something
quirky. In any case, this patch fixes it in practice.
