knfsd: exportfs: split out reconnecting a dentry from find_exported_d…

…entry

There's a clear subfunctionality of reconnecting a given dentry to the main
dentry tree in find_exported_dentry, that can be called both for the dentry
we're looking for or it's parent directory.

This patch splits the subfunctionality out into a separate helper to make the
code more readable and document it's intent.  As a nice side-optimization we
can avoid getting a superfluous dentry reference count in the case we need to
reconnect a directory on it's own.

- * splice this into the dcache in the correct place.

- * The decode_fh() operation provided by the filesystem should call
- * find_exported_dentry() with the same parameters that it received except
- * that instead of the file handle fragment, pointers to opaque identifiers
- * for the object and optionally its parent are passed.  The default decode_fh
- * routine passes one pointer to the start of the filehandle fragment, and
- * one 8 bytes into the fragment.  It is expected that most filesystems will
- * take this approach, though the offset to the parent identifier may well be
- * different.

- * be returned.  Otherwise find_exported_dentry() will attempt to splice a new
- * &dentry into the dcache using get_name() and get_parent() to find the
- * appropriate place.
+ * It may already be, as the flag isn't always updated when connection happens.
