[PATCH v2 4/6] kernfs: use revision to identify directory node changes

[Ian Kent]

If a kernfs directory node hasn't changed there's no need to search for
an added (or removed) child dentry.

Add a revision counter to kernfs directory nodes so it can be used
to detect if a directory node has changed.
