Subject: expand dentry_kill(dentry, 0) in shrink_dentry_list()
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ff2fde9929feb2aef45377ce56b8b12df85dda69 upstream.
Result will be massaged to saner shape in the next commits. It is
ugly, no questions - the point of that one is to be a provably
equivalent transformation (and it might be worth splitting a bit
more).
