Subject: [PATCH 16/73] VFS: Basic fallthru definitions [ver #2]

From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@...hat.com>

Define the fallthru dcache flag and file system op.  Mask out the
DCACHE_FALLTHRU flag on dentry creation.

Actual users and changes to lookup come in later patches.

+  fallthru: called by the readdir(2) system call on a layered file

   rename: called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to
 	have the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
