For simple filesystems that use directory offset mapping, rely strictly on the directory offset map to tell when a directory has no children. After this patch is applied, the emptiness test holds only the RCU read lock when the directory being tested has no children. In addition, this adds another layer of confirmation that simple_offset_add/remove() are working as expected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
