libfs: Attempt exact-match comparison first during casefolded lookup
Casefolded comparisons are (obviously) way more costly than a simple
memcmp. Try the case-sensitive comparison first, falling-back to the
case-insensitive lookup only when needed. This allows any exact-match
lookup to complete without having to walk the utf8 trie.
Note that, for strict mode, generic_ci_d_compare used to reject an
invalid UTF-8 string, which would now be considered valid if it
exact-matches the disk-name. But, if that is the case, the filesystem
is corrupt. More than that, it really doesn't matter in practice,
because the name-under-lookup will have already been rejected by
generic_ci_d_hash and we won't even get here.
The memcmp is safe under RCU because we are operating on str/len instead
of dentry->d_name directly, and the caller guarantees their consistency
between each other in __d_lookup_rcu_op_compare.
