NAK!

Bypassing the stupid d_invalidate checks is precisely the point here.

Unlike local filesystems, we have to deal with the case where someone
deletes a file on the server and then creates a new one with the same
name. The d_invalidate checks will keep the wrong dentry hashed for as
long as some borken process has the file open.
