Subject: scripts/gdb: add GDB convenience functions $lx_dentry_name() and $lx_i_dentry()
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2023 18:53:35 -0600

$lx_dentry_name() generates a full VFS path from a given dentry pointer,
and $lx_i_dentry() returns the dentry pointer associated with the given
inode pointer, if there is one.
