Got it... See if the following fixes the problem - it's
shrink_dcache_for_umount() needing to be careful after possible
run of d_genocide(); we are left with dentries that have zero
refcount and are not on any LRU. And yes, it's d_genocide() being
not nice, exactly because it relies upon shrink_dcache_for_umount()
coming right after it to sweep the garbage. So we'd better be
ready to deal with said garbage...

Diff below fixes that junk here. Folded and re-pushed...
