Richard Weinberger bacfa94b08 ubifs: Correctly use tnc_next() in search_dh_cookie()
Commit c877154d30 fixed an uninitialized variable and optimized
the function to not call tnc_next() in the first iteration of the
loop. While this seemed perfectly legit and wise, it turned out to
be illegal.
If the lookup function does not find an exact match it will rewind
the cursor by 1.
The rewinded cursor will not match the name hash we are looking for
and this results in a spurious -ENOENT.
So we need to move to the next entry in case of an non-exact match,
but not if the match was exact.

While we are here, update the documentation to avoid further confusion.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
