Subject[PATCH 12/21] fat: Kill d_invalidate() in vfat_lookup()
From
Date

d_invalidate() for positive dentry doesn't work in some cases
(vfsmount, nfsd, and maybe others). shrink_dcache_parent() by
d_invalidate() is pointless for vfat usage at all.

So, this kills it, and intead of it uses d_move().

To save old behavior, this returns alias simply for directory (don't
change pwd, etc..). the directory lookup shouldn't be important for
performance.
