I think we can actually get everything we want using dentry_operations only,
since the filesystem can set ->d_op during ->lookup() (like what is done for
encrypted filenames now) rather than at dentry allocation time. And fs/crypto/
can export fscrypt_d_revalidate() rather than setting ->d_op itself.

See the untested patch below.

It's definitely ugly to have to handle the 3 cases of encrypt, casefold, and
encrypt+casefold separately -- and this will need to be duplicated for each
filesystem. But we do have to weigh that against adding additional complexity
and overhead to the VFS for everyone. If we do go with the VFS changes, please
try to make them as simple and unobtrusive as possible.
