vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu
The check for d_unhashed() is not strictly incorrect, but at the same time it is also not sensible. The actual dentry removal from the dentry hash chains is totally asynchronous to the __d_lookup_rcu() logic, and we depend on __d_drop() updating the sequence number to invalidate any lookup of an unhashed dentry. So checking d_unhashed() is not incorrect, but it's not useful either: the code has to work correctly even without it. So just remove it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
