[PATCH v2 3/6] proc: In proc_prune_siblings_dcache cache an aquired super block

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Feb 24 2020 - 11:29:57 EST



Because there are likely to be several sysctls in a row on the
same superblock cache the super_block after the count has
been raised and don't deactivate it until we are processing
another super_block.
