btrfs: set last dir index to the current last index when opening dir

When opening a directory for reading it, we set the last index where we
stop iteration to the value in struct btrfs_inode::index_cnt. That value
does not match the index of the most recently added directory entry but
it's instead the index number that will be assigned the next directory
entry.

This means that if after the call to opendir(3) new directory entries are
added, a readdir(3) call will return the first new directory entry. This
is fine because POSIX says the following [1]:

  "If a file is removed from or added to the directory after the most
   recent call to opendir() or rewinddir(), whether a subsequent call to
   readdir() returns an entry for that file is unspecified."

For example for the test script from commit 9b378f6ad48c ("btrfs: fix
infinite directory reads"), where we have 2000 files in a directory, ext4
doesn't return any new directory entry after opendir(3), while xfs returns
the first 13 new directory entries added after the opendir(3) call.

If we move to a shorter example with an empty directory when opendir(3) is
called, and 2 files added to the directory after the opendir(3) call, then
readdir(3) on btrfs will return the first file, ext4 and xfs return the 2
files (but in a different order). A test program for this, reported by
Ian Johnson, is the following:

   #include <dirent.h>
   #include <stdio.h>

   int main(void) {
     DIR *dir = opendir("test");

     FILE *file;
     file = fopen("test/1", "w");
     fwrite("1", 1, 1, file);
     fclose(file);

     file = fopen("test/2", "w");
     fwrite("2", 1, 1, file);
     fclose(file);

     struct dirent *entry;
     while ((entry = readdir(dir))) {
        printf("%s\n", entry->d_name);
     }
     closedir(dir);
     return 0;
   }

To make this less odd, change the behaviour to never return new entries
that were added after the opendir(3) call. This is done by setting the
last_index field of the struct btrfs_file_private attached to the
directory's file handle with a value matching btrfs_inode::index_cnt
minus 1, since that value always matches the index of the next new
directory entry and not the index of the most recently added entry.
