vfs: add i_op->dentry_open()

Browse Source 
Add a new inode operation i_op->dentry_open().  This is for stacked filesystems
that want to return a struct file from a different filesystem.

dentry_open: *WARNING: probably going away soon, do not use!* This is an
alternative to f_op->open(), the difference is that this method may open
a file not necessarily originating from the same filesystem as the one
i_op->open() was called on. It may be useful for stacking filesystems
which want to allow native I/O directly on underlying files.
