[v1,7/7] binderfs: switch from d_add() to d_instantiate()

Commit Message

In a previous commit we switched from a d_alloc_name() + d_lookup()
combination to setup a new dentry and find potential duplicates to the more
idiomatic lookup_one_len(). As far as I understand, this also means we need
to switch from d_add() to d_instantiate() since lookup_one_len() will
create a new dentry when it doesn't find an existing one and add the new
dentry to the hash queues. So we only need to call d_instantiate() to
connect the dentry to the inode and turn it into a positive dentry.

If we were to use d_add() we sure see stack traces like the following
indicating that adding the same dentry twice over the same inode:
