fs: add file_dentry()
This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs:
Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay").
Regular files opened on overlayfs will result in the file being opened on
the underlying filesystem, while f_path points to the overlayfs
mount/dentry.
This confuses filesystems which get the dentry from struct file and assume
it's theirs.
Add a new helper, file_dentry() [*], to get the filesystem's own dentry
from the file. This checks file->f_path.dentry->d_flags against
DCACHE_OP_REAL, and returns file->f_path.dentry if DCACHE_OP_REAL is not
set (this is the common, non-overlayfs case).
In the uncommon case it will call into overlayfs's ->d_real() to get the
underlying dentry, matching file_inode(file).
The reason we need to check against the inode is that if the file is copied
up while being open, d_real() would return the upper dentry, while the open
file comes from the lower dentry.
[*] If possible, it's better simply to use file_inode() instead.
