vfs: add lookup_hash() helper
Overlayfs needs lookup without inode_permission() and already has the name hash (in form of dentry->d_name on overlayfs dentry). It also doesn't support filesystems with d_op->d_hash() so basically it only needs the actual hashed lookup from lookup_one_len_unlocked() So add a new helper that does unlocked lookup of a hashed name.
