Christoph Hellwig 4ea3ada295 [PATCH] new helper: d_obtain_alias
The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all
users, and it's name is not very descriptive either.

Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode
reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL
pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations.

Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in
libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers
to d_obtain_alias.
