Subject: [PATCH 01/17] get rid of trylock loop in locking dentries on shrink
 list

Upstream commit 3b3f09f48ba78c0634e929849860a6447d057eed

In case of trylock failure don't re-add to the list - drop the locks
and carefully get them in the right order.  For shrink_dentry_list(),
somebody having grabbed a reference to dentry means that we can
kick it off-list, so if we find dentry being modified under us we
don't need to play silly buggers with retries anyway - off the list
it is.

The locking logics taken out into a helper of its own; lock_parent()
is no longer used for dentries that can be killed under us.

[fix from Eric Biggers folded]
