Subject: [PATCH 17/46] fs: Use rename lock and RCU for multi-step operations

The remaining usages for dcache_lock is to allow atomic, multi-step read-side
operations over the directory tree by excluding modifications to the tree.
Also, to walk in the leaf->root direction in the tree where we don't have
a natural d_lock ordering.

This could be accomplished by taking every d_lock, but this would mean a
huge number of locks and actually gets very tricky.

Solve this instead by using the rename seqlock for multi-step read-side
operations, retry in case of a rename so we don't walk up the wrong parent.
Concurrent dentry insertions are not serialised against.  Concurrent deletes
are tricky when walking up the directory: our parent might have been deleted
when dropping locks so also need to check and retry for that.

We can also use the rename lock in cases where livelock is a worry (and it
is introduced in subsequent patch).
