ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type
by Fan Yong <yong.fan@whamcloud.com>

Traditionally ext2/3/4 has returned a 32-bit hash value from llseek()
to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir()
and telldir().  However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash
collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same
entries from the directory repeatedly.

Allow ext3 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for
telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions.

This patch does implement a new ext3_dir_llseek op, because with 64-bit
hashes, nfs will attempt to seek to a hash "offset" which is much
larger than ext3's s_maxbytes.  So for dx dirs, we call
generic_file_llseek_size() with the appropriate max hash value as the
maximum seekable size.  Otherwise we just pass through to
generic_file_llseek().
