    Subject: unionfs: update unionfs fork to align with mainline

    mainline commit 0145acc [vfs: uninline full_name_hash] changes the
    interface to full_name_hash, so unionfs fork must be updated.
    Otherwise unionfs might have the odd behavior that newly created
    directories/files in unionfs won't show up in underlying fs properly.
    
    This also implies that 0145acc fixes the corner issue/regression that
    introduced by mainline commit bfcfaa7 [vfs: use 'unsigned long'
    accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing] and e419b4c [vfs:
    make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing page], that newly
    adopted fast hash function might have hash collision issue on x86.
