With patch cfaa482afb97 ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: shiftfs: fix dentry revalidation")
we tried to fix
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 but it
introduces a regression for shiftfs on btrfs users. Creating a btrfs
subvolume, deleting it, and then trying to recreate it will cause EEXIST
to be returned or the file be left in a half-created state. Faulty
behavior such as this can be reproduced via:

btrfs subvolume create my-subvol
ls -al my-subvol
btrfs subvolume delete my-subvol

We thus need to revert this change restoring the old behavior.This will
briefly resurface https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757
which is fixed in a follow-up patch on top of this revert. We simply
split out the minimal fix into a separate tiny patch.

This reverts commit cfaa482afb97e3c05d020af80b897b061109d51f.
