xfs: create a hashname function for parent pointers

Although directory entry and parent pointer recordsets look very similar
(name -> ino), there's one major difference between them: a file can be
hardlinked from multiple parent directories with the same filename.
This is common in shared container environments where a base directory
tree might be hardlink-copied multiple times.  IOWs the same 'ls'
program might be hardlinked to multiple /srv/*/bin/ls paths.

We don't want parent pointer operations to bog down on hash collisions
between the same dirent name, so create a special hash function that
mixes in the parent directory inode number.
