NFS: Convert readdir page cache to use a cookie based index

Instead of using a linear index to address the pages, use the cookie of
the first entry, since that is what we use to match the page anyway.

This allows us to avoid re-reading the entire cache on a seekdir() type
of operation. The latter is very common when re-exporting NFS, and is a
major performance drain.

The change does affect our duplicate cookie detection, since we can no
longer rely on the page index as a linear offset for detecting whether
we looped backwards. However since we no longer do a linear search
through all the pages on each call to nfs_readdir(), this is less of a
concern than it was previously.
The other downside is that invalidate_mapping_pages() no longer can use
the page index to avoid clearing pages that have been read. A subsequent
patch will restore the functionality this provides to the 'ls -l'
heuristic.
