Clean up btrfs_lookup_dentry() to never return NULL, but PTR_ERR(-ENOENT)
instead. This keeps the return value convention consistent.

Callers who use btrfs_lookup_dentry() require a trivial update.

create_snapshot() in particular looks like it can also lose a BUG_ON(!inode)
which is not really needed - there seems less harm in returning ENOENT to
userspace at that point in the stack than there is to crash the machine.

btrfs_lookup used to be a simple d_splice_alias(btrfs_lookup_dentry ...)
and the expanded back and forth with the DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag.

a66e7cc626f42de6c745963fe0d807518fa49d39 added
39e3c9553f34381a1b664c27b0c696a266a5735e removed

d_splice_alias has been made robust in
a9049376ee05bf966bfe2b081b5071326856890a
"make d_splice_alias(ERR_PTR(err), dentry) = ERR_PTR(err)"

you can drop the error handling from btrfs_lookup completely.

The rest looks ok.

d_splice_alias() is called by the following formats if btrfs_lookup_dentry()
returns NULL before my patch is applied.
   d_splice_alias(NULL, dentry);
However, d_splice_alias() is called by the following formats when
becoming the same situation after my patch is applied.
   d_splice_alias(-ENOENT, dentry);

Therefore, I added the following error handling code.
+       if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
+               if (PTR_ERR(inode) == -ENOENT)
+                       inode = NULL;
+               else
+                       return ERR_CAST(inode);
+       }

Thanks,
Tsutomu
