A good 9p client sends T_readdir with "count" parameter that's sufficiently smaller than client's initially negotiated msize (maximum message size). We perform a check for that though to avoid the server to be interrupted with a "Failed to encode VirtFS reply type 41" transport error message by bad clients. This count value constraint uses msize - 11, because 11 is the header size of R_readdir.
