- d_inode or other bogosity since RCU doesn't protect the other
- fields in the dentry. We therefore use a flag DCACHE_UNHASHED to
- indicate unhashed dentries and use this in conjunction with a
- per-dentry lock (d_lock). Once looked up without the dcache_lock,
- we acquire the per-dentry lock (d_lock) and check if the dentry is
- unhashed. If so, the look-up is failed. If not, the reference count
- of the dentry is increased and the dentry is returned.
