From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
Filesystems outside the regular namespace do not have to clear
DCACHE_UNHASHED in order to have a working /proc/$pid/fd/XXX. Nothing in
proc prevents the fd link from being used if its dentry is not in the
hash.
Also, it does not get put into the dcache hash if DCACHE_UNHASHED is
clear; that depends on the filesystem calling d_add or d_rehash.
So delete the misleading comments and needless code.
