[XFS] Return case-insensitive match for dentry cache

This implements the code to store the actual filename found during a
lookup in the dentry cache and to avoid multiple entries in the dcache
pointing to the same inode.

To avoid polluting the dcache, we implement a new directory inode
operations for lookup. xfs_vn_ci_lookup() stores the correct case name in
the dcache.

The "actual name" is only allocated and returned for a case- insensitive
match and not an actual match.

Another unusual interaction with the dcache is not storing negative
dentries like other filesystems doing a d_add(dentry, NULL) when an ENOENT
is returned. During the VFS lookup, if a dentry returned has no inode,
dput is called and ENOENT is returned. By not doing a d_add, this actually
removes it completely from the dcache to be reused. create/rename have to
be modified to support unhashed dentries being passed in.
