H A Ddcache.h85c7f810 Thu Apr 14 18:52:13 CDT 2016 Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> beginning of transition to parallel lookups - marking in-lookup dentries

marked as such when (would be) parallel lookup is about to pass them
to actual ->lookup(); unmarked when
* __d_add() is about to make it hashed, positive or not.
* __d_move() (from d_splice_alias(), directly or via
__d_unalias()) puts a preexisting dentry in its place
* in caller of ->lookup() if it has escaped all of the
above. Bug (WARN_ON, actually) if it reaches the final dput()
or d_instantiate() while still marked such.

As the result, we are guaranteed that for as long as the flag is
set, dentry will
* remain negative unhashed with positive refcount
* never have its ->d_alias looked at
* never have its ->d_lru looked at
* never have its ->d_parent and ->d_name changed

Right now we have at most one such for any given parent directory.
With parallel lookups that restriction will weaken to
* only exist when parent is locked shared
* at most one with given (parent,name) pair (comparison of
names is according to ->d_compare())
* only exist when there's no hashed dentry with the same
(parent,name)

Transition will take the next several commits; unfortunately, we'll
only be able to switch to rwsem at the end of this series. The
reason for not making it a single patch is to simplify review.

New primitives: d_in_lookup() (a predicate checking if dentry is in
the in-lookup state) and d_lookup_done() (tells the system that
we are done with lookup and if it's still marked as in-lookup, it
should cease to be such).
