From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If the directory changed while we were revalidating the dentry, then don't update the dentry verifier. There is no value in setting the verifier to an older value, and we could end up overwriting a more up to date verifier from a parallel revalidation.
