[PATCH 0/6] fs: implement tree and truncate

Turn opendir inside out, so it uses directory fds internally.
This is an important change, because it means that the inode
iterate operation will now operate on a real struct file.

This is a prerequisite for porting 9pfs from Linux as it expects
directories to be openend before iteration.

To aid with future development of file systems, introduce a tree and
a truncate command on top.

Ahmad Fatoum (6):
  fs: use filename_create/filename_lookup instead of open-coding
  fs: implement O_DIRECTORY
  fs: implement opendir in terms of fdopendir
  commands: implement tree command
  commands: add new truncate command
