Subject: [PATCH] vfs: add d_prune dentry operation

This adds a d_prune dentry operation that is called by the VFS prior to
pruning (i.e. unhashing and killing) a hashed dentry from the dcache.  This
will be used by Ceph to maintain a flag indicating whether the complete
contents of a directory are contained in the dcache, allowing it to satisfy
lookups and readdir without addition server communication.
