  fs/dcache: Move wakeup out of i_seq_dir write held region. (2022-07-30 00:38:16 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
	Main part here is making parallel lookups safe for RT - making
sure preemption is disabled in start_dir_add()/ end_dir_add() sections (on
non-RT it's automatic, on RT it needs to to be done explicitly) and moving
wakeups from __d_lookup_done() inside of such to the end of those sections.
	Wakeups can be safely delayed for as long as ->d_lock on in-lookup
dentry is held; proving that has caught a bug in d_add_ci() that allows
memory corruption when sufficiently bogus ntfs (or case-insensitive xfs)
image is mounted.  Easily fixed, fortunately.
