Ahh, yes, I see, the dentry was created (as a negative one) with
tracefs_start_creating() -> lookup_one_len().
So yes, there d_instantiate() is correct, as it's exactly that "turn
negative dentry into a positive one" case.
I'll go see what's up with the "create it again" case - I don't
immediately see what's wrong.
