[PATCH 29/53] exfat: simplify exfat_lookup()

[NeilBrown]

From: NeilBrown <neil at brown.name>

1/ exfat_d_anon_disconn() serves no purpose.
  It is only called (on alias) when
         alias->d_parent == dentry->d_parent
  and in that case IS_ROOT(dentry) will return false, so the whole
  function will return false.
  So we can remove it.

2/ When an alias for the inode is found in the same parent
  it is always sufficient to d_move() the alias to the new
  name.  This will keep just one dentry around when there are multiple
  effective names, and it will always show the most recently used name,
  which appears to be the intention.
