Use d_materialise_unique to splice dir dentries

When we're splicing in dentries in lookup we can be splicing the result
of changes on other nodes into a stale dcache.  The stale dcache might
contain dir entries and the dcache does not allow aliased directories.

Use d_materialise_unique() to splice in dir inodes so that we remove all
aliased dentries which must be stale.

We can still use d_splice_alias() for all other inode types.  Any
existing stale dentries will fail revalidation before they're used.
