On lookup of non directory, we try to decode the origin file handle stored in upper inode. The origin file handle is supposed to be decoded to a disconnected non-dir dentry, which is fine, because we only need the lower inode of a copy up origin. However, if the origin file handle somehow turns out to be a directory we pay the expensive cost of reconnecting the directory dentry, only to get a mismatch file type and drop the dentry. Optimize this case by explicitly opting out of reconnecting the dentry. Opting-out of reconnect is done by passing a NULL acceptable callback to exportfs_decode_fh(). While the case described above is a strange corner case that does not really need to be optimized, the API added for this optimization will be used by a following patch to optimize a more common case of decoding an overlayfs file handle.
