Negative name lookups and empty-entry allocation can repeatedly scan a
directory from the beginning. Bulk creation in a large directory therefore
approaches O(N^2).

This series separates the optimization into three independently reviewable
steps. Patch 1 adds the Bloom filter used to reject definite name misses.
Patch 2 retains and correctly invalidates the next-empty-entry hint.
Patch 3 adds the LRU and shrinker used to reclaim filters under memory
pressure.

Test environment:
  QEMU TCG multi-thread, 4 vCPUs, 6 GiB RAM
  4 GiB exFAT image, 32 KiB clusters

The measured results were:

                         Before          After
  real                   589.48 s        15.94 s
  user                     4.72 s         4.20 s
  sys                    584.63 s        11.71 s

Changes in v6:
- Invalidate the name filter when committing a new entry set fails, before
  attempting rollback. Despite the reported write error, the new name may
  already have reached disk.
- Move rename/move error invalidation into the Bloom filter patch so that
  each patch remains correct when applied independently.

Changes in v5:
- Rebase the series onto the exFAT maintainer's dev branch.
- Treat every non-negative exfat_find_empty_entry() return value as a
  successful allocation in the volume-label path.
- Record the minimum entry-set size for which a saved empty-entry hint is
  valid. A shorter entry set now rescans from the beginning and can reuse a
  smaller hole that an earlier, longer entry set could not use.

Changes in v4:
- Publish the next-empty-entry hint only after the directory entry set is
  successfully committed, so post-allocation failures cannot skip an unused
  slot.
- Invalidate the destination name filter when rename or move fails because
  the new entry may already exist on disk.

Changes in v3:
- Split the change into Bloom filter, empty-entry hint, and shrinker
  patches.
- Accept filenames containing exactly 255 UTF-16 code units while building
  the Bloom filter.
- Invalidate the empty-entry hint in every path that can free directory
  entries, preventing stale hints from skipping earlier holes.

Changes in v2:
- Move exfat_name_filter_free() to exfat_evict_inode() because
  ->free_inode() may run from an RCU callback in softirq context.
