[PATCH 09/38] whiteout: tmpfs whiteout support

[Valerie Aurora]

Add support for whiteout dentries to tmpfs.  This includes adding
support for whiteouts to d_genocide(), which is called to tear down
pinned tmpfs dentries.  Whiteouts have to be persistent, so they have
a pinning extra ref count that needs to be dropped by d_genocide().
