NFS: Add dentry materialisation op
The attached patch adds a new directory cache management function that prepares
a disconnected anonymous function to be connected into the dentry tree. The
anonymous dentry is transferred the name and parentage from another dentry.
The following changes were made in [try #2]:
(*) d_materialise_dentry() now switches the parentage of the two nodes around
correctly when one or other of them is self-referential.
The following changes were made in [try #7]:
(*) d_instantiate_unique() has had the interior part split out as function
__d_instantiate_unique(). Callers of this latter function must be holding
the appropriate locks.
(*) _d_rehash() has been added as a wrapper around __d_rehash() to call it
with the most obvious hash list (the one from the name). d_rehash() now
calls _d_rehash().
(*) d_materialise_dentry() is now __d_materialise_dentry() and is static.
(*) d_materialise_unique() added to perform the combination of d_find_alias(),
d_materialise_dentry() and d_add_unique() that the NFS client was doing
twice, all within a single dcache_lock critical section. This reduces the
number of times two different spinlocks were being accessed.
The following further changes were made:
(*) Add the dentries onto their parents d_subdirs lists.
