NFS: Detect loops in a readdir due to bad cookies
Some filesystems (such as ext4) can return the same cookie value for
multiple files. If we try to start a readdir with one of these cookies,
the server will return the first file found with a cookie of the same
value. This can cause the client to enter an infinite loop.
