Simply white-out a given directory entry. This functionality is usually used
in the sense of unlink. Therefore the given dentry can still be in-use and
contains an in-use inode. The filesystems inode operation has to do what
unlink or rmdir would in that case. Since the dentry still might be in-use
we have to provide a fresh unhashed dentry that is used as the whiteout
dentry instead. The given dentry is dropped and the whiteout dentry is
rehashed instead.
