    UBUNTU: SAUCE: shiftfs: fix dentry revalidation

    BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872757

to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757
regresses various btrfs + shiftfs users. Creating a btrfs subvolume,
deleting it, and then trying to recreate it will cause EEXIST to be returned.
It also leaves some files in a half-visible state because they are not 
revalidated
correctly.
Faulty behavior such as this can be reproduced via:

btrfs subvolume create my-subvol
btrfs subvolume delete my-subvol

Fix: We need to revert this patch restoring the old behavior. This will briefly
resurface https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 which I 
will fix in a follow-up patch on top of this revert. We basically split the 
part that fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 
out of the revert.

Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs.

Test Case: Build a kernel with fix applied and run above reproducer.
