nfs3: Special-case the lookup for parent dir of root

When a lookup request comes in for (rootfh, ".."), we need to handle
it in a way that returns the attributes and handle of the root dir.
Not doing so crashes nfsx because the inode table is not able to
find a inode for the root's parent. This inode was being referenced in
nfs3_lookup_parentdir_resume when filling a loc for the lookup fop.

For the record, such a lookup request is sent by vmkernel.
