...but the fact that this patch avoids taking file->f_pos_lock (as this
proposed version of IORING_OP_GETDENTS avoids using file->f_pos) means
that ->iterate_shared() can then be called concurrently on the same
struct file, which breaks the mutual exclusion guarantees provided here.

If possible, I'd like to keep the ability to explicitly pass in a
directory offset to start reading from into IORING_OP_GETDENTS, so
perhaps we can simply satisfy the mutual exclusion requirement by
taking ->f_pos_lock by hand -- but then I do need to check that it's OK
for ->iterate{,_shared}() to be called successively with discontinuous
offsets without ->llseek() being called in between.

(If that's not OK, then we can either have IORING_OP_GETDENTS just
always start reading at ->f_pos like before (which might then require
adding a IORING_OP_GETDENTS2 at some point in the future if we'll
ever want to change that), or we could have IORING_OP_GETDENTS itself
call ->llseek() for now whenever necessary.)
