[PATCH v4 19/21] NFS: Optimisations for monotonically increasing readdir cookies

[trondmy@kernel.org]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

If the server is handing out monotonically increasing readdir cookie values,
then we can optimise away searches through pages that contain cookies that
lie outside our search range.
