exportfs: stop retrying once we race with rename/remove
There are two places here where we could race with a rename or remove:
- We could find the parent, but then be removed or renamed away
from that parent directory before finding our name in that
directory.
- We could find the parent, and find our name in that parent,
but then be renamed or removed before we look ourselves up by
that name in that parent.
In both cases the concurrent rename or remove will take care of
reconnecting the directory that we're currently examining. Our target
directory should then also be connected. Check this and clear
DISCONNECTED in these cases instead of looping around again.
Note: we *do* need to check that this actually happened if we want to be
robust in the face of corrupted filesystems: a corrupted filesystem
could just return a completely wrong parent, and we want to fail with an
error in that case before starting to clear DISCONNECTED on
non-DISCONNECTED filesystems.
