exportfs: fix quadratic behavior in filehandle lookup
Suppose we're given the filehandle for a directory whose closest ancestor in the dcache is its Nth ancestor. The main loop in reconnect_path searches for an IS_ROOT ancestor of target_dir, reconnects that ancestor to its parent, then recommences the search for an IS_ROOT ancestor from target_dir. This behavior is quadratic in N. And there's really no need to restart the search from target_dir each time: once a directory has been looked up, it won't become IS_ROOT again. So instead of starting from target_dir each time, we can continue where we left off. This simplifies the code and improves performance on very deep directory heirachies. (I can't think of any reason anyone should need heirarchies a hundred or more deep, but the performance improvement may be valuable if only to limit damage in case of abuse.)
