Here you are doing readdir_union for all the directories under a union
mount point, which is an overhead (building the readdir cache). Here is
the fix:
From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Within a union mount point, there can be directories which don't have a
union stack underneath them. And readdir() doesn't have to maintain a cache
of dirents for such directories. But the current patch maintains the cache
for such directories. Fix this.
