- overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return

+ overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return one
+ of the underlying dentries of a regular file hidden by the overlay.
- Called from file_dentry() it returns the real dentry matching
- the inode argument. The real dentry may be from a lower layer
- already copied up, but still referenced from the file. This
- mode is selected with a non-NULL inode argument.
+ The 'type' argument takes the values D_REAL_DATA or D_REAL_METADATA
+ for returning the real underlying dentry that refers to the inode
+ hosting the file's data or metadata respectively.
- With NULL inode the topmost real underlying dentry is returned.
+ For non-regular files, the 'dentry' argument is returned.
Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
