Linus Torvalds 360f54796e dcache: let the dentry count go down to zero without taking d_lock
We can be more aggressive about this, if we are clever and careful. This is subtle.

* Locked reference counts.
*
* These are different from just plain atomic refcounts in that they
* are atomic with respect to the spinlock that goes with them. In
* particular, there can be implementations that don't actually get
* the spinlock for the common decrement/increment operations, but they
* still have to check that the operation is done semantically as if
* the spinlock had been taken (using a cmpxchg operation that covers
* both the lock and the count word, or using memory transactions, for
* example).
