NFS: allow close-to-open cache semantics to apply to root of NFS filesystem
To obey NFS cache semantics, the client must verify the cached attributes when a file is opened. In most cases this is done by a call to d_validate as one of the last steps in path_walk. However for the root of a filesystem, d_validate is only ever called on the mounted-on filesystem (except when the path ends '.' or '..'). So NFS has no chance to validate the attributes. So, in nfs_opendir, we revalidate the attributes if the opened directory is the mountpoint. This may cause double-validation for "." and ".." lookups, but that is better than missing regular /path/name lookups completely.
