For lookup if we get ENOENT error from the server we still
instantiate the dentry. We need to make sure we have dentry
operations set in that case so that a later dput on the dentry
does the expected. Without the patch we get the below error

#ln  -sf abc abclink
ln: creating symbolic link `abclink': No such file or directory

Now on the host do
$ touch abclink

Guest now gives ENOENT error.
# ls
ls: cannot access abclink: No such file or directory
