Subject: [PATCH 3.14 027/130] expand dentry_kill(dentry, 0) in shrink_dentry_list()

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

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

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

commit ff2fde9929feb2aef45377ce56b8b12df85dda69 upstream.

Result will be massaged to saner shape in the next commits.  It is
ugly, no questions - the point of that one is to be a provably
equivalent transformation (and it might be worth splitting a bit
more).
