btrfs: don't loop on large offsets in readdir



When btrfs readdir() hits the last entry it sets the readdir offset to a
huge value to stop buggy apps from breaking when the same name is
returned by readdir() with concurrent rename()s.

But unconditionally setting the offset to INT_MAX causes readdir() to
loop returning any entries with offsets past INT_MAX.  It only takes a
few hours of constant file creation and removal to create entries past
INT_MAX.

So let's set the huge offset to LLONG_MAX if the last entry has already
overflowed 32bit loff_t.   Without large offsets behaviour is identical.
With large offsets 64bit apps will work and 32bit apps will be no more
broken than they currently are if they see large offsets.
