Currently the "need caller to do more work" path in fast_dput() has refcount decremented, then, with ->d_lock held and refcount verified to have reached 0 fast_dput() forcibly resets the refcount to 1. Move that resetting refcount to 1 into the callers; later in the series it will be massaged out of existence.
