Add a HYPFS_VARDIR_INIT() macro for initializing such a directory
statically, taking a struct hypfs_funcs pointer as parameter additional
to those of HYPFS_DIR_INIT().

Modify HYPFS_VARSIZE_INIT() to take the function vector pointer as an
additional parameter as this will be needed for dynamical entries.

For being able to let the generic hypfs coding continue to work on
normal struct hypfs_entry entities even for dynamical nodes add some
infrastructure for allocating a working area for the current hypfs
request in order to store needed information for traversing the tree.
This area is anchored in a percpu pointer and can be retrieved by any
level of the dynamic entries. The normal way to handle allocation and
freeing is to allocate the data in the enter() callback of a node and
to free it in the related exit() callback.

Add a hypfs_add_dyndir() function for adding a dynamic directory
template to the tree, which is needed for having the correct reference
to its position in hypfs.

V2:
- switch to xzalloc_bytes() in hypfs_alloc_dyndata() (Jan Beulich)
- carved out from previous patch
- use enter() and exit() callbacks for allocating and freeing
  dyndata memory
- add hypfs_add_dyndir()

I can't seem to be able to spot what this describes, and the
respective part of the description therefore also remains unclear
to me. Not the least again when considering multi-level templates,
where potentially each of the handlers may want to allocate dyndata,
yet only one party can at a time.

Overall this patch adds a lot of (for now) dead code, which makes it
hard to judge whether this is what's needed. I guess I'll again
learn more by reding further patches.

I think all pieces are coming together with patch 15.

Right now: yes.

In case needed it will be rather easy to have a linked list of dyndata
entities, with the percpu dyndata variable pointing to the most recent
one (the one of the currently deepest nesting level).

I hope so.
