Subject: [PATCH 1/8] securityfs: don't pin dentries twice, once is enough...

incidentally, securityfs_recursive_remove() is broken without that -
it leaks dentries, since simple_recursive_removal() does not expect
anything of that sort.  It could be worked around by dput() in
remove_one() callback, but it's easier to just drop that double-get
stuff.
