[PATCH 3.10 27/31] deal with deadlock in d_walk()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ca5358ef75fc69fee5322a38a340f5739d997c10 upstream.

... by not hitting rename_retry for reasons other than rename having
happened.  In other words, do _not_ restart when finding that
between unlocking the child and locking the parent the former got
into __dentry_kill().  Skip the killed siblings instead...

[hujianyang: Backported to 3.10 refer to the work of Ben Hutchings in 3.2:
 - As we only have try_to_ascend() and not d_walk(), apply this
   change to all callers of try_to_ascend()
 - Adjust context to make __dentry_kill() apply to d_kill()]
