This series adds support for getdents64 in liburing. The intent is to
provide a more complete I/O interface for io_uring.

Ack, this series looks much more natural to me now.

I think some of the callers of "iterate_dir()" could probably be
cleaned up with the added argument, but for this series I prefer that
mindless approach of just doing "&(arg1)->f_pos" as the third argument
that is clearly a no-op.

So the end result is perhaps not as beautiful as it could be, but I
think the patch series DTRT.

It really does not.  Think what happens if you pass e.g. an odd position
to that on e.g. ext2/3/4.  Or just use it on tmpfs, for that matter.
