dentry_open: *WARNING: probably going away soon, do not use!* This is an
alternative to f_op->open(), the difference is that this method may open
a file not necessarily originating from the same filesystem as the one
i_op->open() was called on. It may be useful for stacking filesystems
which want to allow native I/O directly on underlying files.

Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
directory.
