NFS: Trigger the "ls -l" readdir heuristic sooner
Since commit 1a34c8c9 ("NFS: Support larger readdir buffers") has updated dtsize, and with recent improvements to the READDIRPLUS helper heuristic, the heuristic may not trigger until many dentries are emitted to userspace. This will cause many thousands of GETATTR calls for "ls -l" when the directory's pagecache has already been populated. This manifests as poor performance for long directory listings after an initially fast "ls -l". Fix this by emitting only 17 entries for any first pass through the NFS directory's ->iterate_shared(), which allows userpace to prime the counters for the heuristic.
