dcache: remove unnecessary NULL check in dget_dlock()
dget_dlock() requires dentry->d_lock to be held when called, yet
contains a NULL check for dentry.
An audit of all calls to dget_dlock() shows that it is never called
with a NULL pointer (as spin_lock()/spin_unlock() would crash in these
cases):
$ git grep -W '\<dget_dlock\>'

include/linux/dcache.h:static inline struct dentry *dget_dlock(struct dentry *dentry)
After taking out the NULL check, dget_dlock() becomes almost identical
to __dget_dlock(); the only difference is that dget_dlock() returns the
dentry that was passed in. These are static inline helpers, so we can
rely on the compiler to discard unused return values. We can therefore
also remove __dget_dlock() and replace calls to it by dget_dlock().
Also fix up and improve the kerneldoc comments while we're at it.
Al Viro pointed out that we can also clean up some of the callers to
make use of the returned value and provided a bit more info for the
kerneldoc.
While preparing v2 I also noticed that the tabs used in the kerneldoc
comments were causing the kerneldoc to get parsed incorrectly so I also
fixed this up (including for d_unhashed, which is otherwise unrelated).
Testing: x86 defconfig build + boot; make htmldocs for the kerneldoc
warning. objdump shows there are code generation changes.
