No, I don't think so. In both cases, the dcache is wrong and the dentry
should be dropped and reinstantiated to point to a new inode. An ESTALE
return is the trigger for that to occur. An ENOENT return is going to
mean a stat() failure in your testcase, I think.

So I think you want to return ESTALE in both cases. That said, please
do test it and ensure that it does the right thing.
