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.
