Sure, ->d_prune() would take it out of the rbtree, but what if it hits
                                rb_erase(&fd->node, &dentry_hash[i].tree);
                                RB_CLEAR_NODE(&fd->node);
                                spin_unlock(&dentry_hash[i].lock);
... right here, when we are not holding any locks anymore?
                                d_dispose_if_unused(fd->dentry, &dispose);
                                cond_resched();
                                spin_lock(&dentry_hash[i].lock);
