[PATCH v5 1/2] readdir: split the core of getdents64(2) out into vfs_getdents()

[Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org>]

So that IORING_OP_GETDENTS may use it, split out the core of the
getdents64(2) syscall into a helper function, vfs_getdents().

vfs_getdents() calls into filesystems' ->iterate{,_shared}() which
expect serialization on struct file, which means that callers of
vfs_getdents() are responsible for either using fdget_pos() or
performing the equivalent serialization by hand.
