Chuck Lever 0c70b50150 NFS: nfs_lookup doesn't need to revalidate the parent directory's inode
nfs_lookup() used to consult a lookup cache before trying an actual wire
 lookup operation.  The lookup cache would be invalid, of course, if the
 parent directory's mtime had changed, so nfs_lookup performed an inode
 revalidation on the parent.

 Since nfs_lookup() doesn't use a cache anymore, the revalidation is no
 longer necessary.  There are cases where it will generate a lot of
 unnecessary GETATTR traffic.

 See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9

 Test-plan:
 Use lndir and "rm -rf" and watch for excess GETATTR traffic or application
 level errors.
