tmpfs: allow decoding a file handle of an unlinked file
tmpfs uses the helper d_find_alias() to find a dentry from a decoded
inode, but d_find_alias() skips unhashed dentries, so unlinked files
cannot be decoded from a file handle.
This can be reproduced using xfstests test program open_by_handle:
$ open_by handle -c /tmp/testdir
$ open_by_handle -dk /tmp/testdir
open_by_handle(/tmp/testdir/file000000) returned 116 incorrectly on an unlinked open file!
To fix this, if d_find_alias() can't find a hashed alias, call
d_find_any_alias() to return an unhashed one.
