Subject: [PATCH v6 2/7] fs/dcache: Add sysctl parameter neg-dentry-pc as a soft limit on negative dentries

A new sysctl parameter "neg-dentry-pc" is added to /proc/sys/fs whose
value represents a soft limit on the total number of negative dentries
allowable in a system as a percentage of the total system memory.
The allowable range of this new parameter is 0-10 where 0 means no
soft limit.

A warning message will be printed if the soft limit is exceeded.
