	A lot of d_add() uses are in ->lookup() instances;
those really should be d_splice_alias() - that's mandatory
for anything exported (and we'd seen people not bothering
to convert when adding exports/open-by-fhandle support) *and*
it's not costlier than d_add() anyway, in all cases when
d_add() wouldn't have caused instant breakage.

	What's more, d_splice_alias() makes for simpler life
in callers - it does the right thing when given ERR_PTR(),
which simplifies the logics in quite a few ->lookup() instances.

	There are trickier cases, but a bunch of those call
sites are completely straightforward.  See followups, or
vfs.git#work.lookup
