The heuristic for readdirplus is designed to try to detect 'ls -l' and
similar patterns. It does so by looking for cache hit/miss patterns in
both the attribute cache and in the dcache of the files in a given
directory, and then sets a flag for the readdirplus code to interpret.

The problem with this approach is that a single attribute or dcache miss
can cause the NFS code to force a refresh of the attributes for the
entire set of files contained in the directory.

To be able to make a more nuanced decision, let's sample the number of
hits and misses in the set of open directory descriptors. That allows us
to set thresholds at which we start preferring READDIRPLUS over regular
READDIR, or at which we start to force a re-read of the remaining
readdir cache using READDIRPLUS.
