[PATCH 41/53] libfs: stop using d_add().

[NeilBrown]

From: NeilBrown <neil at brown.name>

"Best practice" is to use d_splice_alias() at the end of a ->lookup
function.  d_add() often works and is not incorrect in libfs, as the
inode is always NULL, but as it is planned to remove d_add(), change to
use d_splice_alias().
