btrfs: increment ctx->pos for every emitted or skipped dirent in readdir
If we process the last item in the leaf and hit an I/O error while reading the next leaf, we return -EIO without having adjusted the position. Since we have emitted dirents, getdents() will return the byte count to the user instead of the error. Subsequent callers will emit the last successful dirent again, and return -EIO again, with the same result. Callers loop forever. Instead, if we always increment ctx->pos after emitting or skipping the dirent, we'll be sure that we won't hit the same one again. When we go to process the next leaf, we won't have emitted any dirents and the -EIO will be returned to the user properly. We also don't need to track if we've emitted a dirent already or if we've changed the position yet.
