staging: lustre: lmv: build master LMV EA dynamically build via readdir



When creating a striped directory, the master object saves the slave
objects (or shards) as internal sub-directories. The sub-directory's
name is composed of ${shard_FID}:${shard_idx}. With the name, we can
easily to know what the shard is and where it should be.

On the other hand, we need to store some information related with the
striped directory, such as magic, hash type, shards count, and so on.
That is the LMV EA (header). We do NOT store the FID of each shard in
the LMV EA. Instead, when we need the shards' FIDs (such as readdir()
on client-side), we can build the entrie LMV EA on the MDT (in RAM) by
iterating the sub-directory entries that are contained in the master
object of the striped directroy.

Above mechanism can simplify the striped directory create operation.
For very large striped directory, logging the FIDs array in the LMV
EA will be trouble. It also simplify the LFSCK for verifying striped
directory, because it reduces the inconsistency sources.

Another fixing is about the lmv_master_fid in master LMV EA header,
it is redundant information, and may become one of the inconsistency
sources. So replace it with two __u64 padding fields.
