Subject: [PATCH] ufs: replace d_type switch with fs_umode_to_dtype()

ufs_set_de_type() was setting d_type via a switch over S_IFMT.
Replace this with fs_umode_to_dtype(), which provides the same
mapping and is the standard VFS helper for this purpose.

This also resolves the existing TODO comment.
