[PATCH 16/39] convert pstore

object creation by d_alloc_name()+d_add() in pstore_mkfile(), removal -
via normal VFS codepaths (with ->unlink() using simple_unlink()) or
in pstore_put_backend_records() via locked_recursive_removal()
Replace d_add() with d_make_persistent()+dput() - that's what really
happens there. The reference that goes into record->dentry is valid
only until the unlink (and explicitly cleared by pstore_unlink()).
