Subject: Re: [PATCH 17/17] fs: Clean up inode reference counting

Besides moving this much earlier in the series as mentioned before
the most important thing is giving the helpers a different name as
the iget name is already used for a different purpose, even if
got rid of the original iget and only have iget_locked.  I think
iref/iref_locked would be good enough names for the helpers.

One other things is that a lot of the current igrab users could
use this helper instead - there's very few places where we look at
inodes that don't already have a permanent reference when we try
to acquire another one.
