Subject: [PATCH 3.14 026/130] split dentry_kill()

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

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

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

commit e55fd011549eae01a230e3cace6f4d031b6a3453 upstream.

... into trylocks and everything else.  The latter (actual killing)
is __dentry_kill().
