ovl: decide if revalidate needed on a per-dentry basis
Allow completely skipping ->revalidate() on a per-dentry basis, in case the underlying layers used for a dentry do not themselves have ->revalidate(). E.g. negative overlay dentry has no underlying layers, hence revalidate is unnecessary. Or if lower layer is remote but overlay dentry is pure-upper, then can skip revalidate. The following places need to update whether the dentry needs revalidate or not: - fill-super (root dentry) - lookup - create - fh_to_dentry Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
