vfs: get rid of 'struct dcache_hash_bucket' abstraction
It's a useless abstraction for 'hlist_bl_head', and it doesn't actually
help anything - quite the reverse. All the users end up having to know
about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *'
etc. So it just makes the code look confusing.
And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more
importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look
different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list.
As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and
special helper functions for what is really another totally identical
case in the very same function.
Make it all look and work the same.
