fs/dcache: allow d_obtain_alias() to return unhashed dentries

Browse Source 
Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:

	client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
	client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
	...
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ rm /export/FOO
	(^C the tail -f)
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
	server$ df -i /export

the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.

This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:

	- putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the
	  inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
	  this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
	  returns that instead.
	- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
	  immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
	- end of the compound: release the reference
	  to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
	  DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
	  unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.

Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.

Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.

Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.
