NAME
       dentry_update_name_case - update case insensitive dentry with a new name

SYNOPSIS
       void dentry_update_name_case(struct dentry * dentry, const struct qstr * name);

ARGUMENTS
       dentry
           dentry to be updated

       name
           new name

DESCRIPTION
       Update a case insensitive dentry with new case of name.

       dentry must have been returned by d_lookup with name name. Old and new name lengths must
       match (ie. no d_compare which allows mismatched name lengths).

       Parent inode i_mutex must be held over d_lookup and into this call (to keep renames and
       concurrent inserts, and readdir(2) away).
