[PATCH 19/20] kill DCACHE_MAY_FREE

[Al Viro]

With the new ordering in __dentry_kill() it has become redundant -
it's set if and only if both DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED and DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST
are set.

We set it in __dentry_kill(), after having set DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED
with the only condition being that DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST is there;
all of that is done without dropping ->d_lock and the only place
that checks that flag (shrink_dentry_list()) does so under ->d_lock,
after having found the victim on its shrink list.  Since DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST
is set only when placing dentry into shrink list and removed only by
shrink_dentry_list() itself, a check for DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED in
there would be equivalent to check for DCACHE_MAY_FREE.
