Revert "LINUX: do not use d_invalidate to evict dentries"

Linux recently changed the semantics of d_invalidate() to:
- return void
- invalidate even a current working directory

OpenAFS commit c3bbf0b4444db88192eea4580ac9e9ca3de0d286 switched libafs
to use d_prune_aliases() instead.

However, since that commit, several things have happened:
- RHEL 7.4 changed the semantics of d_invalidate() such that it
  invalidates the cwd, but did NOT change the return type to void.
  This broke our autoconf test for detecting the new semantics.
- Further research reveals that d_prune_aliases() was not the best
  choice for replacing d_invalidate().  This is because for directories,
  d_prune_aliases() doesn't invalidate dentries when they are referenced
  by its children, and it doesn't walk the tree trying to invalidate
  child dentries.  So it can leave dentries dangling, if the only
  references to thos dentries are via children.

In preparation for future commits, revert
c3bbf0b4444db88192eea4580ac9e9ca3de0d286 .
