[RFC PATCH v3 3/5] Revert "libfs: fix infinite directory reads for offset dir"

[cel@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>

Using octx->next_offset to determine the newest entries works only
because the offset value range is 63-bits. If an offset were to
wrap, existing entries are no longer visible to readdir because
offset_readdir() stops listing entries once an entry's offset is
larger than octx->next_offset.

This fix is effective, but it would be better not to use next_offset
at all when iterating a directory. Revert this fix to prepare for
replacing the current offset_readdir() mechanism. Reverting also
makes it easier to apply the replacement code to v6.6.
