fix breakage caused by d_find_alias() semantics change
"VFS: don't keep disconnected dentries on d_anon" had a non-trivial side-effect - d_unhashed() now returns true for those dentries, making d_find_alias() skip them altogether. For most of its callers that's fine - we really want a connected alias there. However, there is a codepath where we relied upon picking such aliases if nothing else could be found - selinux delayed initialization of contexts for inodes on already mounted filesystems used to rely upon that.
