Clearing the LOOKUP_RCU bit is what I was looking at, because doing that without doing the proper successful lockref_get_not_dead() ends up being equivalent to missing a dget(), not an extra dput(). Which was why I was looking at unlazy_walk() -> terminate_walk(). But I really don't see anything wrong. That was the only really obvious sequence where you changed things. Everything else seems to be a pretty 1:1 conversion.
