Update.

	* include/dirent.h: Remove __getdirentries declaration, add __getdents
	and __getdents64.
	* sysdeps/unix/readdir.c: Use __getdents, not __getdirentries.
	* sysdeps/unix/readdir_r.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/readdir64.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/readdir64_r.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getdents.c: Define __getdents, not
	__getdirentries.  Remove fourth argument.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getdirentries.c: New file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getdirentries64.c: New file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile [subdir=dirent] (sysdep_routines):
	Add getdirentries and getdirentries64.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Add getdirentries and getdirentries64.
