new helper: d_find_alias_rcu()
similar to d_find_alias(inode), except that * the caller must be holding rcu_read_lock() * inode must not be freed until matching rcu_read_unlock() * result is *NOT* pinned and can only be dereferenced until the matching rcu_read_unlock(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
