[PATCH] dcache: use read_seqlock_excl() in d_set_mounted()

From: Waiman Long
Date: Wed Aug 13 2014 - 15:16:10 EST


The d_set_mounted() doesn't change anything in the filesystem other
than setting the DCACHE_MOUNTED flag in the mount point's dentry
which is protected by d_lock anyway. So we can safely replace
write_seqlock/write_sequnlock by read_seqlock_excl/read_sequnlock_excl.
