unify dentry_iput() and dentry_unlink_inode()
There is a lot of duplication between dentry_unlink_inode() and dentry_iput(). The only real difference is that dentry_unlink_inode() bumps ->d_seq and dentry_iput() doesn't. The argument of the latter is known to have been unhashed, so anybody who might've found it in RCU lookup would already be doomed to a ->d_seq mismatch. And we want to avoid pointless smp_rmb() there. This patch makes dentry_unlink_inode() bump ->d_seq only for hashed dentries. It's safe (d_delete() calls that sucker only if we are holding the only reference to dentry, so rehash is not going to happen) and it allows to use dentry_unlink_inode() in __dentry_kill() and get rid of dentry_iput(). The interesting question here is profiling; it *is* a hot path, and extra conditional jumps in there might or might not be painful. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
