Al Viro 7ffdea7ea3 locking in fs/9p ->readdir() ...

... is really excessive.  First of all, ->readdir() is serialized by
file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_mutex; playing with file->f_path.dentry->d_lock
is not buying you anything.  Moreover, rdir->mutex is pointless for exactly
the same reason - you'll never see contention on it.

	While we are at it, there's no point in having rdir->buf a pointer -
you have it point just past the end of rdir, so it might as well be a flex
array (and no, it's not a gccism).

	Absolutely untested patch follows:
