Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: simplify destroying inode

Just before reclaimed by the hugetlbfs inode cache, little difference
could be made by initializing the list head of the dentry member of
vfs inode, thus the operation of initialization could be removed to
simplify the destroy of hugetlbfs inode.
