These filesystem patches need to be just joined into the same patch
that does the d_count -> d_refcount change.
Otherwise the kernel won't build in lots of configurations for some
commits, which makes things like bisecting much more painful than it
should be.
So we can't do piece-meal changes that break the build for parts of the tree.

I could change patch 3 so that I keep the d_count name, but #define
d_refcount to d_count. In that way, I can do piece-meal changes without
breaking the build. Alternatively, I could collapse patches 3-11 into a
single big patch which will be harder to review.
