The nfsv4 readdir callback needs a similar fix.

Also, it looks to me like this results in us encoding an entry for this
deleted file in the readdir reply, but with an empty filehandle.  From a
quick glance at the rfc it's not clear to me whether this is really
legal.  I suspect it may cause odd behavior on clients.  At the least it
would seem cleaner to check for this condition early enough that we can
just skip the entry entirely.
