This should do the right thing:

Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix the initialisation of the readdir 'cookieverf'
 array

When the NFS_COOKIEVERF helper macro was converted into a static
inline function, we broke the initialisation of the readdir cookies,
since it depended on a 'sizeof(NFS_COOKIEVERF(inode))'.

At this point, NFS_COOKIEVERF seems to be more of an obfuscation
than a helper, so the best thing would be to just get rid of it.
