[PATCH] Unionfs: stop using iget() and read_inode()

[Erez Zadok]

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

Stop UnionFS from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
unionfs_read_inode() with unionfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
unionfs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error
code instead of an inode in the event of an error.

unionfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.
