You're talking about directory hard links, right? E.g. if there's a directory
with two links a/dir and b/dir, and fscrypt_d_revalidate() is running on 'dir'
via a lookup in a/, it could be the case that b/dir is being concurrently looked
up. Then the concurrent d_splice_alias() will move the whole dentry tree rooted
at 'dir' from a/ to b/ in the dcache. Okay, it looks like you're right; I'll
update my comment to clarify that dget_parent() is still needed...
