The nr_dentry_unused per-cpu counter tracks dentries in both the LRU lists and the shrink lists where the DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit is set. The shrink_dcache_sb() function moves dentries from the LRU list to a shrink list and subtracts the dentry count from nr_dentry_unused. This is incorrect as the nr_dentry_unused count Will also be decremented in shrink_dentry_list() via d_shrink_del(). To fix this double decrement, the decrement in the shrink_dcache_sb() function is taken out. Fixes: 4e717f5c1083 ("list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all."
