From: Miklos Szeredi __d_path() has 4 callers: d_path() sys_getcwd() seq_path_root() tomoyo_realpath_from_path2() Of these the only one which needs the " (deleted)" ending is d_path(). sys_getcwd() checks for existence before calling __d_path(). seq_path_root() is used to show the mountpoint path in /proc/PID/mountinfo, which is always a positive. And tomoyo doesn't want the deleted ending. Create a helper "path_with_deleted()" as subsequent patches will need this in multiple places.
