This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 64fd72e0a44bdd62c5ca277cb24d0d02b2d8e9dc upstream.
It can happen only when dentry_kill() is called with unlock_on_failure
equal to 0 - other callers had dentry pinned until the moment they've
got ->d_lock and DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED is set only after lockref_mark_dead().
IOW, only one of three call sites of dentry_kill() might end up reaching
that code. Just move it there.
