    VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry) · e36cb0b8

    Convert the following where appropriate:
    
     (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
    
     (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
    
     (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
         complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
         d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
         question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
         a ->d_automount op.
    
    In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
    NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
    d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
    use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).
    
    Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
    DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
    manages the fall-through from a...
