vfs: get rid of 'struct dcache_hash_bucket' abstraction
It's a useless abstraction for 'hlist_bl_head', and it doesn't actually help anything - quite the reverse. All the users end up having to know about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *' etc. So it just makes the code look confusing. And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list. As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and special helper functions for what is really another totally identical case in the very same function. Make it all look and work the same. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
