staging: lustre: llite: Trust creates in revalidate too. By forcing creates to always go via lookup we lose some important caching benefits too. Instead let's trust creates with positive cached entries. Then we have 3 possible outcomes: 1. Negative dentry - we go via atomic_open and do the create by name there. 2. Positive dentry, no contention - we just go straight to ll_intent_file_open and open by fid. 3. positive dentry, contention - by the time we reach the server, the inode is gone. We get ENOENT which is unacceptable to return from create. But since we know it's a create, we substitute it with ESTALE and VFS retries again with LOOKUP_REVAL set, we catch that in revalidate and force a lookup (same path as before this patch).
