.PP
If inode has a hashed alias - acquire the reference to alias and
return it. Otherwise return NULL. Notice that if inode is a directory
there can be only one alias and it can be unhashed only if it has
no children.
.PP
If the inode has a DCACHE_DISCONNECTED alias, then prefer
any other hashed alias over that one.
