   HEAD: 2fd1d2c4ceb2248a727696962cf3370dc9f5a0a4 proc: Fix proc_sys_prune_dcache to hold a sb reference

A rather embarassing and hard to hit bug was merged into 4.11-rc1.
Andrei Vagin tracked this bug now and after some starting at the
code I came up with a fix.

Fix this by taking a reference to the super block in proc_sys_prune_dcache.

The superblock reference is the core of the fix however the sysctl_inodes
list is converted to a hlist so that hlist_del_init_rcu may be used.  This
allows proc_sys_prune_dache to remove inodes the sysctl_inodes list, while
not causing problems for proc_sys_evict_inode when if it later choses to
remove the inode from the sysctl_inodes list.  Removing inodes from the
sysctl_inodes list allows proc_sys_prune_dcache to have a progress
guarantee, while still being able to drop all locks.  The fact that
head->unregistering is set in start_unregistering ensures that no more
inodes will be added to the the sysctl_inodes list.

Previously the code did a dance where it delayed calling iput until the
next entry in the list was being considered to ensure the inode remained on
the sysctl_inodes list until the next entry was walked to.  The structure
of the loop in this patch does not need that so is much easier to
understand and maintain.
