fix idiotic braino in d_alloc_parallel()
Check for d_unhashed() while searching in in-lookup hash was absolutely wrong. Worse, it masked a deadlock on dget() done under bitlock that nests inside ->d_lock. Thanks to J. R. Okajima for spotting it. Spotted-by: "J. R. Okajima" <hooanon05g@gmail.com> Wearing-brown-paperbag: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
