[PATCH RFC 3/7] libfs: Add simple_offset_empty()

From: Chuck Lever
Date: Tue Feb 13 2024 - 16:38:45 EST


From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>

For simple filesystems that use directory offset mapping, rely
strictly on the directory offset map to tell when a directory has
no children.

After this patch is applied, the emptiness test holds only the RCU
read lock when the directory being tested has no children.

In addition, this adds another layer of confirmation that
simple_offset_add/remove() are working as expected.
