afs: Fix getattr to report server i_size on dirs, not local size
[ Upstream commit 45f66fa03ba9943cca5af88d691399332b8bde08 ]
Fix afs_getattr() to report the server's idea of the file size of a
directory rather than the local size. The local size may differ as we edit
the local copy to avoid having to redownload it and we may end up with a
differently structured blob of a different size.
However, if the directory is discarded from the pagecache we then download
it again and the user may see the directory file size apparently change.
