nfs: propagate readlink errors in nfs_symlink_filler

There is an inherent race where a symlink file may have been overriden
(by a different client) between lookup and readlink, resulting in a
spurious EIO error returned to userspace. Fix this by propagating back
ESTALE errors such that the vfs will retry the lookup/get_link (similar
to nfs4_file_open) at least once.
