NFS: Refactor nfs_instantiate() for dentry referencing callers

Since commit b0c6108 ("nfs_instantiate(): prevent multiple aliases for directory inode"), nfs_instantiate() may succeed without actually instantiating the dentry that was passed in. That can be problematic for some callers in NFSv3, so this patch breaks things up so we can get the actual dentry obtained.
