Subject: [PATCH RFC 6/7] ext4: Enable negative dentries on case-insensitive lookup

Instead of invalidating negative dentries during case-insensitive
lookups, mark them as such and let them be added to the dcache.
d_ci_revalidate is able to properly filter them out if necessary based
on the dentry casefold flag.
