Subject: [PATCH 3.14 35/44] new helper: dentry_free()

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

commit b4f0354e968f5fabd39bc85b99fedae4a97589fe upstream.

The part of old d_free() that dealt with actual freeing of dentry.
Taken out of dentry_kill() into a separate function.
