vfs: merge .d_select_inode() into .d_real()
The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage: vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument. file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the underlying inode. vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real() with a zero inode would have worked just as well here. This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real() by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter. [Al Viro] Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again. And constify the inode argument, while we are at it. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
