ilookup5 uses ifind to search for the inode specified by hashval and
data in the inode cache. This is a generalized version of ilookup for
file systems where the inode number is not sufficient for unique
identification of an inode.
If the inode is in the cache, the inode is returned with an incremented
reference count. Note, the inode lock is not waited upon so you have to be
very careful what you do with the returned inode. You probably should be
using ilookup5 instead.
Otherwise NULL is returned.
Note, test is called with the inode_lock held, so can't sleep.
