Christian Brauner 01684db950 binderfs: switch from d_add() to d_instantiate()
In a previous commit we switched from a d_alloc_name() + d_lookup()
combination to setup a new dentry and find potential duplicates to the more
idiomatic lookup_one_len(). As far as I understand, this also means we need
to switch from d_add() to d_instantiate() since lookup_one_len() will
create a new dentry when it doesn't find an existing one and add the new
dentry to the hash queues. So we only need to call d_instantiate() to
connect the dentry to the inode and turn it into a positive dentry.

If we were to use d_add() we sure see stack traces like the following
indicating that adding the same dentry twice over the same inode:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
