[XFS] Initialise current offset in xfs_file_readdir correctly

After reading the directory contents into the temporary buffer, we grab
each dirent and pass it to filldir witht eh current offset of the dirent.
The current offset was not being set for the first dirent in the temporary
buffer, which coul dresult in bad offsets being set in the f_pos field
result in looping and duplicate entries being returned from readdir.

[XFS] Fix mknod regression

This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype',
which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in
xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of
the linux dev_t later down the function.

Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment
because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the
inode.
