[XFS] Name operation vector for hash and compare
Adds two pieces of functionality for the basis of case-insensitive support
in XFS:
1. A comparison result enumerated type: xfs_dacmp. It represents an
exact match, case-insensitive match or no match at all. This patch
only implements different and exact results.
2. xfs_nameops vector for specifying how to perform the hash generation
of filenames and comparision methods. In this patch the hash vector
points to the existing xfs_da_hashname function and the comparison
method does a length compare, and if the same, does a memcmp and
return the xfs_dacmp result.
All filename functions that use the hash (create, lookup remove, rename,
etc) now use the xfs_nameops.hashname function and all directory lookup
functions also use the xfs_nameops.compname function.
The lookup functions also handle case-insensitive results even though the
default comparison function cannot return that. And important aspect of
the lookup functions is that an exact match always has precedence over a
case-insensitive. So while a case-insensitive match is found, we have to
keep looking just in case there is an exact match. In the meantime, the
info for the first case-insensitive match is retained if no exact match is
found.
