[PATCH V3 04/12] kernfs: don't set dentry->d_fsdata

From: Shaohua Li When working on adding exportfs operations in kernfs, I found it's hard to initialize dentry->d_fsdata in the exportfs operations. Looks there is no way to do it without race condition. Look at the kernfs code closely, there is no point to set dentry->d_fsdata. inode->i_private a
