    Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This
    does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback,
    however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses.
    If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the
    rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would
    cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.
    
    For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.
