libfs: Fix duplicate directory entry in offset_dir_lookup

There is an issue in the kernel:

In tmpfs, when using the "ls" command to list the contents
of a directory with a large number of files, glibc performs
the getdents call in multiple rounds. If a concurrent unlink
occurs between these getdents calls, it may lead to duplicate
directory entries in the ls output. One possible reproduction
scenario is as follows:

Create 1026 files and execute ls and rm concurrently:

for i in {1..1026}; do
    echo "This is file $i" > /tmp/dir/file$i
done

ls /tmp/dir rm /tmp/dir/file4
->getdents(file1026-file5)
->unlink(file4)

->getdents(file5,file3,file2,file1)

It is expected that the second getdents call to return file3
through file1, but instead it returns an extra file5.

The root cause of this problem is in the offset_dir_lookup
function. It uses mas_find to determine the starting position
for the current getdents call. Since mas_find locates the first
position that is greater than or equal to mas->index, when file4
is deleted, it ends up returning file5.

It can be fixed by replacing mas_find with mas_find_rev, which
finds the first position that is less than or equal to mas->index.
