Linux 3.11 compat: fops->iterate()
Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aade393641f0eaed43a71110e629bb900 replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations. All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method. To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate interface. Care was taken to keep the majority of changes confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific. However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir() function. Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions. Also the various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new *_iterate() functions. Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from passing a private pointer to the filldir function. The xattr directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir() to generate the list of xattr names. Since we can no longer use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function was added to perform the same task.
