The comment at the top of the function already permits it,
just take out the assetrtion and update __d_add to
be aware of this. Move the BUG_ON to d_add which is the
other user of __d_add and presumably we do not want to
allow hashed dentries as input there.

So seeing how there's only one other __d_add user, I just moved the BUG_ON
to d_add and allowed __d_add to not call _d_rehash if the dentry is
already hashed.
This seems to be working as expected and I don't see any problems with it.
Of course I am probably missing some other important consideration ;)
