[PATCH] Only walk a directory once in vfs dirsort module

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

currently in the dirsort module we walk a directory twice. First to count the 
file and allocate memory and then to fill it.

I created a patch to only walk it once. I have a customer who walks ~200k 
files. I optimized it to need not to much memory, so I don't double the memory 
allocation. For 200k files you need ~56MB. If the memory is out at 55 and we 
doulbe it, we would allocate 110 MB for a few more files.

The speed up is big enough to have a few more memory alloctation but don't use 
too much memory.


Review and push appreciated.


Thanks,


	Andreas
