ceph: avoid dereferencing invalid pointer during cached readdir
Readdir cache keeps array of dentry pointers in page cache. If any dentry in readdir cache gets pruned, ceph_d_prune() disables readdir cache for later readdir syscall. The problem is that ceph_d_prune() ignores unhashed dentry. Ideally MDS should have already revoked CEPH_CAP_FILE_SHARED (which also disables readdir cache) when dentry gets unhashed. But if it is somehow MDS does not properly revoke CEPH_CAP_FILE_SHARED and the unhashed dentry gets pruned later, ceph_d_prune() will not disable readdir cache, later readdir may reference invalid dentry pointer. The fix is make ceph_d_prune() do extra check for unhashed dentry. Disable readdir cache if the unhashed dentry is still referenced by readdir cache. Another fix in this patch is handle d_splice_alias(). If a dentry gets spliced into new parent dentry, treat it as if it was pruned (call ceph_d_prune() for it).
