hostfs: simplify locking
Remove dcache_lock locking from hostfs filesystem, and move it into dcache
helpers. All that is required is a coherent path name. Protection from
concurrent modification of the namespace after path name generation is not
provided in current code, because dcache_lock is dropped before the path is
used.
