afs: Avoid endless loop if file is larger than expected
afs_read_dir fetches an amount of data that's based on what the inode size is thought to be. If the file on the server is larger than what was fetched, the code rechecks i_size and retries. If the local i_size was not properly updated, this can lead to an endless loop of fetching i_size from the server and noticing each time that the size is larger on the server. If it is known that the remote size is larger than i_size, bump up the fetch size to that size.
