xfs: ask the dentry cache if it knows the parent of a directory

It's possible that the dentry cache can tell us the parent of a
directory.  Therefore, when repairing directory dot dot entries, query
the dcache as a last resort before scanning the entire filesystem.

A reviewer asks:

"How high is the chance that we actually have a valid dcache entry for a
file in a corrupted directory?"

There's a decent chance of this actually working.  Say you have a
1000-block directory foo, and block 980 gets corrupted.  Let's further
suppose that block 0 has a correct entry for ".." and "bar".  If someone
accesses /mnt/foo/bar, that will cause the dcache to create a dentry
from /mnt to /mnt/foo whose d_parent points back to /mnt.  If you then
want to rebuild the directory, XFS can obtain the parent from the dcache
without needing to wander into parent pointers or scan the filesystem to
find /mnt's connection to foo.
