Subject: [PATCH 5/6] vfs: reorganize do_lookup

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...e.cz>

do_lookup's uncached lookup part basically open codes __lookup_hash so use that
instead.

This also eliminates the weird retry loop, that could, in theory, retry the
cached lookup any number of times (very unlikely scenario: needs two parallel
do_lookups and d_revalidate always returning zero).
