Huh?  That's the previous patch; MS_ACTIVE should already be clear when
we get here.

Nothing should be messing with the list, though the inode_lru_list_del
in iput_final will take s_inode_list_lock.

I felt there's less messing around with vfs internals by sticking to
igrab and iput (and letting them deal with the internal inode state)
since that's what xfs uses elsewhere to manage inode life cycles.
