Since Linux 2.6.20, the dentry pointer is no longer stored in
file->f_dentry, but in file->f_path.dentry. Until Linux 3.19, there
was a compatibility macro which made the change transparent, but this
macro has now been removed.
Since we probably don't care about compatibility with kernels older
than 2.6.20, this commit takes the simple approach of using
file->f_path.dentry. This will work with any kernel >= 2.6.20.
