unexport d_alloc_pseudo()
No modular uses since introducion of alloc_file_pseudo(), and the only non-modular user not in alloc_file_pseudo() had actually been wrong - should've been d_alloc_anon(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

DCACHE_RCUACCESS is gone; having an RCU delay on dentry freeing is the
default. DCACHE_NORCU opts out, and only d_alloc_pseudo() has any
business doing so.
