  dcache: remove unnecessary NULL check in dget_dlock() (2023-11-25 02:51:56 -0500)

Two conflicts - one is the usual append vs. append in D/f/porting.rst; a slightly
more interesting one in fs/tracefs/inode.c, where the switch of d_child/d_subdirs
to hlist runs into changes made in mainline by "eventfs: Fix file and directory
uid and gid ownership".  Pretty straightforward; I've pushed my resolution variant
into #resolution-candidate.  Note that subsequent changes in tracefs tree eliminate
the entire "walk the tree and flip ->i_gid" thing, so the entire clone of d_walk()
in set_gid() will be gone anyway...

----------------------------------------------------------------
dcache stuff for this cycle

change of locking rules for __dentry_kill(), regularized refcounting
rules in that area, assorted cleanups and removal of weird corner
cases (e.g. now ->d_iput() on child is always called before the parent
might hit __dentry_kill(), etc.)

      struct dentry: get rid of randomize_layout idiocy
      get rid of __dget()
      DCACHE_... ->d_flags bits: switch to BIT()
      DCACHE_COOKIE: RIP
      kill d_{is,set}_fallthru()
      dentry.h: trim externs

      switch nfsd_client_rmdir() to use of simple_recursive_removal()
      coda_flag_children(): cope with dentries turning negative
      dentry: switch the lists of children to hlist
      centralize killing dentry from shrink list
      shrink_dentry_list(): no need to check that dentry refcount is marked dead
      fast_dput(): having ->d_delete() is not reason to delay refcount decrement
      fast_dput(): handle underflows gracefully
      fast_dput(): new rules for refcount
      __dput_to_list(): do decrement of refcount in the callers
      make retain_dentry() neutral with respect to refcounting
      __dentry_kill(): get consistent rules for victim's refcount
      dentry_kill(): don't bother with retain_dentry() on slow path
      Call retain_dentry() with refcount 0
      fold the call of retain_dentry() into fast_dput()
      don't try to cut corners in shrink_lock_dentry()
      fold dentry_kill() into dput()
      to_shrink_list(): call only if refcount is 0
      switch select_collect{,2}() to use of to_shrink_list()
      d_prune_aliases(): use a shrink list
      __dentry_kill(): new locking scheme
      retain_dentry(): introduce a trimmed-down lockless variant
      kill d_instantate_anon(), fold __d_instantiate_anon() into remaining caller
      d_alloc_pseudo(): move setting ->d_op there from the (sole) caller
      nsfs: use d_make_root()
      Merge branch 'merged-selinux' into work.dcache-misc
      simple_fill_super(): don't bother with d_genocide() on failure
      d_genocide(): move the extern into fs/internal.h
      get rid of DCACHE_GENOCIDE
      d_alloc_parallel(): in-lookup hash insertion doesn't need an RCU variant
      __d_unalias() doesn't use inode argument
      Merge branches 'work.dcache-misc' and 'work.dcache2' into work.dcache
      kill DCACHE_MAY_FREE
