[PATCH] fs/ufs: optimize ufs_set_de_type() with lookup table

[ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in]

From: Shaurya Rane <ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in>

Replace the switch statement in ufs_set_de_type() with a static lookup
table as suggested by the existing TODO comment.

This optimization converts the case-by-case comparisons into a simple
array access. The implementation relies on the S_IFMT file type constants
having predictable bit patterns residing in the high bits (12-15).

By masking the mode and shifting right by 12 bits ((mode & S_IFMT) >> 12),
we obtain compact indices (0-15) that map directly to the DT_ constants:

  S_IFIFO  (0010000) -> index 1  -> DT_FIFO
  S_IFCHR  (0020000) -> index 2  -> DT_CHR
  S_IFDIR  (0040000) -> index 4  -> DT_DIR
  S_IFBLK  (0060000) -> index 6  -> DT_BLK
  S_IFREG  (0100000) -> index 8  -> DT_REG
  S_IFLNK  (0120000) -> index 10 -> DT_LNK
  S_IFSOCK (0140000) -> index 12 -> DT_SOCK

All other indices map to DT_UNKNOWN (0), maintaining identical logic to
the original default case.
