This comes from a bad automatic merge resolution between commit

  d101a125954e ("fs: add file_dentry()")

from Linus' tree (introduced before v4.5-rc3) and commit

  340450a54573 ("beginning of transition to parallel lookups - marking in-lookup dentries")

from the vfs tree.

I will fix this up in tomorrow's tree (unless Al beats me to it).
