Fix memory corruption caused by nfsd readdir+

Browse Source 
Commit 8177e6d6dfb9cd03d9bdeb647c32161f8f58f686 ("nfsd: clean up
readdirplus encoding") introduced single character typo in nfs3 readdir+
implementation.  Unfortunately that typo has quite bad side effects:
random memory corruption, followed (on my box) with immediate
spontaneous box reboot.

Using 'p1' instead of 'p' fixes my Linux box rebooting whenever VMware
ESXi box tries to list contents of my home directory.
