posix: fix dangerous "sharing" of fd in readdir between two requests
posix_fill_readdir() is a multi-step function which performs many readdir() calls, and expects the directory cursor to have not "seeked away" elsewhere between two successive iterations. Usually this is not a problem as each opendir() from an application has its own backend fd, and there is nobody else to "seek away" the directory cursor. However in case of NFS's use of anonymous fd, the same fd_t is shared between all NFS readdir requests, and two readdir loops can be executing in parallel on the same dir dragging away the cursor in a chaotic manner. The fix in this patch is to lock on the fd around the loop. Another approach could be to reimplement posix_fill_readdir() with a single getdents() call, but that's for another day.
