From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> Do have_submounts(), shrink_dcache_parent() and d_drop() atomically. check_submounts_and_drop() can deal with negative dentries and non-directories as well. Non-directories can also be mounted on. And just like directories we don't want these to disappear with invalidation.
