Add a revision counter to kernfs directory nodes so it can be used to detect if a directory node has changed during negative dentry revalidation. There's an assumption that sizeof(unsigned long) <= sizeof(pointer) on all architectures and as far as I know that assumption holds. So adding a revision counter to the struct kernfs_elem_dir variant of the kernfs_node type union won't increase the size of the kernfs_node struct. This is because struct kernfs_elem_dir is at least sizeof(pointer) smaller than the largest union variant. It's tempting to make the revision counter a u64 but that would increase the size of kernfs_node on archs where sizeof(pointer) is smaller than the revision counter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
