We can't - not until we know that there's nothing mounted under it.
The thing is, unlike shrink_dcache_parent() we *can* bugger off as
soon as we'd found no victims, nothing mounted and dentry itself
is unhashed.  We can't do anything in select_collect() (we would've
broken shrink_dcache_parent() that way), but we can do unhashing
in check_and_drop() in "really nothing to do" case and we can return
from d_invalidate() after that.  So how about this:
