Subject: [PATCH v5 2/5] fsnotify: Simplify inode iteration on umount

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

fsnotify_unmount_inodes() played complex tricks to pin next inode in the
sb->s_inodes list when iterating over all inodes. If we switch to
keeping current inode pinned somewhat longer, we can make the code much
simpler and standard.
