bcachefs: Inode backpointers

Browse source 
This patch adds two new inode fields, bi_dir and bi_dir_offset, that
point back to the inode's dirent.

Since we're only adding fields for a single backpointer, files that have
been hardlinked won't necessarily have valid backpointers: we also add a
new inode flag, BCH_INODE_BACKPTR_UNTRUSTED, that's set if an inode has
ever had multiple links to it. That's ok, because we only really need
this functionality for directories, which can never have multiple
hardlinks - when we add subvolumes, we'll need a way to enemurate and
print subvolumes, and this will let us reconstruct a path to a subvolume
root given a subvolume root inode.
