Simple cleanup:
		if (!iint->digest_cache)
			iint->digest_cache =digest_cache_get(file_dentry(file));

		digest_cache = iint->digest_cache;

Keeping a reference to the digest_cache list for each file in the iint cache
until the file is re-accessed, might take a while to free.

I'm wondering if it necessary to keep a reference to the digest_cache.  Or is it
possible to just compare the existing iint->digest_cache pointer with the
current digest_cache pointer?

thanks,

Mimi
