nfsd: fix memory corruption caused by readdir

If the result of an NFSv3 readdir{,plus} request results in the
"offset" on one entry having to be split across 2 pages, and is sized
so that the next directory entry doesn't fit in the requested size,
then memory corruption can happen.

When encode_entry() is called after encoding the last entry that fits,
it notices that ->offset and ->offset1 are set, and so stores the
offset value in the two pages as required.  It clears ->offset1 but
*does not* clear ->offset.

Normally this omission doesn't matter as encode_entry_baggage() will
be called, and will set ->offset to a suitable value (not on a page
boundary).
But in the case where cd->buflen < elen and nfserr_toosmall is
returned, ->offset is not reset.

This means that nfsd3proc_readdirplus will see ->offset with a value 4
bytes before the end of a page, and ->offset1 set to NULL.
It will try to write 8bytes to ->offset.
If we are lucky, the next page will be read-only, and the system will
  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at...

If we are unlucky, some innocent page will have the first 4 bytes
corrupted.

nfsd3proc_readdir() doesn't even check for ->offset1, it just blindly
writes 8 bytes to the offset wherever it is.

Fix this by clearing ->offset after it is used, and copying the
->offset handling code from nfsd3_proc_readdirplus into
nfsd3_proc_readdir.
