[Linux-cachefs] [PATCH 4/5] NFS: Add dentry materialisation op [try #2]

[David Howells]

The attached patch adds a new directory cache management function that prepares
a disconnected anonymous function to be connected into the dentry tree. The
anonymous dentry is transferred the name and parentage from another dentry.
