SUNRPC: pipefs dentry lookup helper introduced
In all places, where pipefs dentries are created, only directory inode is actually required to create new dentry. And all this directories has root pipefs dentry as their parent. So we actually don't need this pipefs mount point at all if some pipefs lookup method will be provided. IOW, all we really need is just superblock and simple lookup method to find root's child dentry with appropriate name. And this patch introduces this method. Note, that no locking implemented in rpc_d_lookup_sb(). So it can be used only in case of assurance, that pipefs superblock still exist. IOW, we can use this method only in pipefs mount-umount notification subscribers callbacks.
