[v5,1/2] exportfs: fix the fallback implementation of the get_name export operation

Commit Message

From: Trond Myklebust <[e-mail]>

The fallback implementation for the get_name export operation uses
readdir() to try to match the inode number to a filename. That filename
is then used together with lookup_one() to produce a dentry.
A problem arises when we match the '.' or '..' entries, since that
causes lookup_one() to fail. This has sometimes been seen to occur for
filesystems that violate POSIX requirements around uniqueness of inode
numbers, something that is common for snapshot directories.

This patch just ensures that we skip '.' and '..' rather than allowing a
match.
