Al Viro 9bdebc2bd1 Teach shrink_dcache_parent() to cope with mixed-filesystem shrink lists 
Currently, running into a shrink list that contains dentries from different
filesystems can cause several unpleasant things for shrink_dcache_parent()
and for umount(2).

The first problem is that there's a window during shrink_dentry_list() between
__dentry_kill() takes a victim out and dropping reference to its parent.  During
that window the parent looks like a genuine busy dentry.  shrink_dcache_parent()
(or, worse yet, shrink_dcache_for_umount()) coming at that time will see no
eviction candidates and no indication that it needs to wait for some
shrink_dentry_list() to proceed further.

That applies for any shrink list that might intersect with the subtree we are
trying to shrink; the only reason it does not blow on umount(2) in the mainline
is that we unregister the memory shrinker before hitting shrink_dcache_for_umount().

Another problem happens if something in a mixed-filesystem shrink list gets
be stuck in e.g. iput(), getting umount of unrelated fs to spin waiting for
the stuck shrinker to get around to our dentries.

Solution:
        1) have shrink_dentry_list() decrement the parent's refcount and
make sure it's on a shrink list (ours unless it already had been on some
other) before calling __dentry_kill().  That eliminates the window when
shrink_dcache_parent() would've blown past the entire subtree without
noticing anything with zero refcount not on shrink lists.
	2) when shrink_dcache_parent() has found no eviction candidates,
but some dentries are still sitting on shrink lists, rather than
repeating the scan in hope that shrinkers have progressed, scan looking
for something on shrink lists with zero refcount.  If such a thing is
found, grab rcu_read_lock() and stop the scan, with caller locking
it for eviction, dropping out of RCU and doing __dentry_kill(), with
the same treatment for parent as shrink_dentry_list() would do.

Note that right now mixed-filesystem shrink lists do not occur, so this
is not a mainline bug.  Howevere, there's a bunch of uses for such
beasts (e.g. the "try and evict everything we can out of given page"
patches; there are potential uses in mount-related code, considerably
simplifying the life in fs/namespace.c, etc.)
