It is valid, yes.  It's called a "negative" dentry, which caches the information
that the file does not exist.

That state is not valid.  So we certainly need to unhash the negative dentry
first, before hashing a new one.  We could also reuse the old dentry, but that
is just an optimization.

Below patch fixes several issues with that function.  Could you please give it a
go?

Thanks,
Miklos
