servers may allow owners to override permissions on readdir

Anyone see any reason why I server wouldn't want to allow owners to
override directory permissions on readdir?

(It turns out that the actual behavior of linux nfsd is more
complicated: it attempts to allow overrides on readdir, but then does a
lookup_one_len in the filldir method called on each entry, which results
on an ACCESS error.  But readdirs of empty directories, or nfsv4
readdirs with the rdattr_error, may succeed.  I'm not quite sure what to
do about that.)

    4.0 server tests: server may allow owner to override permissions on readdir
    
    As with regular files, permissions to access a directory are checked on
    open not on individual reads.  Therefore it is the client's
    responsibility to do an access check, and the server should be permitted
    to allow the owner of a directory to overrider permissions.
