Eric Dumazet 304e61e6fb [PATCH] net: don't insert socket dentries into dentry_hashtable
We currently insert socket dentries into the global dentry hashtable.  This
is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used
for a lookup().  (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism).  Inserting
them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups.

To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after
dentry name, we do :

- Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the
  DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.

- Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in
  hash table.

  __dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime.

- At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again
  DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by
  socket code, so that dput() can just kill_it.
