The only remaining user of d_real() is file_dentry().
Simplify code related to ->d_real() by:
- remove dead code from overlayfs implementation
- remove the open_flags argument
- expand d_real() helper into file_dentry()
- remove d_real() helper, since there are no callers and makes no sense to
add new ones

- d_real: overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return one of
- the underlying dentries hidden by the overlay. It is used in three
- different modes:
-
- Called from open it may need to copy-up the file depending on the
- supplied open flags. This mode is selected with a non-zero flags
- argument. In this mode the d_real method can return an error.
-
- Called from file_dentry() it returns the real dentry matching the inode
- argument. The real dentry may be from a lower layer already copied up,
- but still referenced from the file. This mode is selected with a
- non-NULL inode argument. This will always succeed.
-
- With NULL inode and zero flags the topmost real underlying dentry is
- returned. This will always succeed.

- This method is never called with both non-NULL inode and non-zero flags.

Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
