Quoting <linux/exportfs.h>:

ZFS was not setting max_len in the case where the handle was too
small. As a result of this, the `t_name_to_handle_at.c' example in
name_to_handle_at(2) did not work on ZFS.
zfsctl_fid() will itself set max_len if called with a fid that is too
small, so if we give zfs_fid() that behavior as well, the fix is quite
easy: if the handle is too small, just use a zero-size fid instead of
the handle.
Tested by running t_name_to_handle_at on a normal file, a directory, a
.zfs directory, and a snapshot.
