dentry: switch the lists of children to hlist

Saves a pointer per struct dentry and actually makes the things less
clumsy.  Cleaned the d_walk() and dcache_readdir() a bit by use
of hlist_for_... iterators.

A couple of new helpers - d_first_child() and d_next_sibling(),
to make the expressions less awful.

+The list of children anchored in parent dentry got turned into hlist now.
+Field names got changed (->d_children/->d_sib instead of ->d_subdirs/->d_child
+for anchor/entries resp.), so any affected places will be immediately caught
