fs-scale-pseudo
Regardless of how much we possibly try to scale dcache, there is likely
always going to be some fundamental contention when adding or removing children
under the same parent. Pseudo filesystems do not seem need to have connected
dentries because by definition they are disconnected.
XXX: is this right? I can't see any reason why they need to have a real
parent.
TODO: add a d_instantiate_something() and avoid adding the extra checks
for !d_parent
