Before making a folder a case-insensitive one, this folder could have
been used before and created some negative dentries (given that the
folder needs to be empty before making it case-insensitive, all detries
there are negative ones). During a new file creation, if a d_hash()
collision happens and the name matches a negative dentry, the new file
might have a name different than the specified by user.
To prevent this from happening, remove all negative dentries in a
directory before making it a case-folded one.
