Problem: Filename completion on remote hosts in shell and eshell doesn't
work properly.

On remote host, on shell prompt: Typing "/" and pressing TAB attempts to
complete from local root dir rather than remote root dir.

Supposing that at your current directory there is a subdirectory "usr"
with a subdirectory "local", typing "usr" and hitting TAB successfully
completes to "usr/" bit gives the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening directory" "no such
file or directory" "/ssh:host:/usr/")

Then, typing "loca" and hitting "TAB" fails to complete.

Recipe:

1 cd /ssh:some-remote-host:/
2 M-x shell (or eshell)
3 Type in "cd /" and hit TAB TAB

Notice that completion options are for local root dir, rather than
remote root dir

4 Type in "usr" TAB

Completes successfully to "usr/" but with error

5 After "usr/" type in "loca" and tab

Fails to complete to "local/"
