Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix memory leaks and corruption in readdir
nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() must not exit without having initialised
the array, so that the page cache deletion routines can safely
call nfs_readdir_clear_array().
Furthermore, we should ensure that if we exit nfs_readdir_filler()
with an error, we free up any page contents to prevent a leak
if we try to fill the page again.
Fixes: 11de3b11e08c ("NFS: Fix a memory leak in nfs_readdir")

I also took b044f6451384 ("NFS: switch back to to ->iterate()") and
queued both for 4.9 and 4.4.
