Implement dir.i_op->lookup() and ->permission().

Optimize out ->d_revalidate() if possible.
If the refreshing failed, then ->d_revalidate() remains. In this case,
aufs has two types of dentries. One has ->d_revalidate, the other
doesn't. I am afraid it will confuse me someday.

Implement d_op->d_revalidate().
This is another core part of UDBA (cf. lookup.txt in another commit).

Implement basic sb_op->show_options(), statfs() and sync_fs() simply.
- show_options() doesn't print the default values (AuOpt_Def).
- statfs() will have an option to summarize the numbers from branches
  (in later commit).

Call the functions in previous commits to refresh all.

As a part of branch-management, aufs maintains all cached inodes,
dentries, and opened files in remounting.
This commits handles the cached inodes by counting the number of cached
inodes, generating an array of their pointers. I don't like such array
approach, but I don't have another idea.

Now aufs becomes mountable with very few features.

The main part is in previous commit.
This commit handles the generation of aufs objects, to make sure the
inode in the file handle is still valid.
In order not to confuse NFSD, the various operation returns ESTALE for
NFSD where it used to return EBUSY.

Several policies to select one among multiple writable branches.

Aufs can have multiple writable branches, and there are several
policies to select one among them.
This commit implements default "top-down-parent" for both of
creating-policy and copyup-policy.

The branch path can be much longer and it is not suitable to print via
/proc/mounts as a part of mount options. Aufs can show it either
separately via sysfs or /proc/mounts (as a part of mount options).
This approach affects the lifetime of aufs objects and sbinfo contains
kobject (in another commit). Theoretically user can disable
CONFIG_SYSFS, but the lifetime management is always necessary. So
supporting sysfs is split into two files, sysaufs.c and sysfs.c.
sysaufs.c is always compiled, but sysfs.c is compiled only when
CONFIG_SYSFS is enabled.

The structure is very similar to inode and dentry infos (in previous
commits), but the internal array is for 'struct au_branch' instead of
'superblock.' Additionally the lifetime of 'struct au_sbinfo' is managed
by kobject since it will be connected to sysfs by later commit.
