NFS: clean up short packet handling for NFSv4 readdir

Currently, the NFS readdir decoders have a workaround for buggy servers
that send an empty readdir response with the EOF bit unset. If the
server sends a malformed response in some cases, this workaround kicks
in and just returns an empty response rather than returning a proper
error to the caller.

This patch does 3 things:

1) have malformed responses with no entries return error (-EIO)

2) preserve existing workaround for servers that send empty
   responses with the EOF marker unset.

3) Add some comments to clarify the logic in decode_readdir().
