I'm not entirely sure why btrfs_inode_by_name() handles "." and ".." at
all. We haven't needed that since the 2.2 kernel, have we?

I think we should just remove that code completely -- and remove the
similar code from btrfs_real_readdir() while we're at it -- just use
parent_ino(filp->f_path.dentry) instead. In _that_ case, we know the
dcache is connected.
