From: Valerie Aurora on
Define the fallthru dcache flag and file system op. Mask out the
DCACHE_FALLTHRU flag on dentry creation. Actual users and changes to
lookup come in later patches.

second is the dentry for the whiteout itself. This method

+ fallthru: called by the readdir(2) system call on a layered file

rename: called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to
have the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
