libcephfs_proxy: workaround for delays and hangs in the proxy

When ceph_ll_lookup() is done on ".", it returns a new reference to the
parent inode itself. However this may cause some delays or problems on
disconnect (see https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/70553).

However, if "." is replaced by "", we still get a new reference to the
parent inode (which is what we really need), without causing any side
effect.

This patch uses this alternative in the libcephfs proxy to avoid the
problem.
