[PATCH RFC 5/6] dcache: push releasing dentry lock into sweep_negative

From: Gautham Ananthakrishna
Date: Thu Jan 21 2021 - 10:28:33 EST


From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Release the dentry lock inside the sweep_negative() function. This
is in preparation for a follow up patch and doesn't change runtime
behavior.
