As ReadDirIV operates on a path anyway, opening the directory has no clear safety advantage w.r.t. concurrent renames. If the backing directory is a reverse-mounted gocryptfs filesystem, each directory open is an OPENDIR, and this causes a full directory read! This patch improves the "ls -lR" performance of an DIR --> gocryptfs-reverse --> gocryptfs chain by a factor of ~10. OPENDIR counts for ls -lR: Before 15570 After 2745
