[4/6,-,REVISED] fuse: return correct dentry for ->mkdir

Commit Message

Subject: [PATCH] fuse: return correct dentry for ->mkdir

fuse already uses d_splice_alias() to ensure an appropriate dentry is
found for a newly created dentry.  Now that ->mkdir can return that
dentry we do so.

This requires changing create_new_entry() to return a dentry and
handling that change in all callers.

Note that when create_new_entry() is asked to create anything other than
a directory we can be sure it will NOT return an alternate dentry as
d_splice_alias() only returns an alternate dentry for directories.
So we don't need to check for that case when passing one the result.

Thanks for the suggestion Miklos - this looks much better.

Christian: could you please replace the fuse patch in your tree
with this version?  Thanks.
