Why would you need an extra reference? All these data structures are
created dynamically on access and dentry is always available while any
operation on the inode is in progress so it's guaranteed to be
available and there's no reason to diddle with reference count.
Anyways, we can deal with this optimization later, I think.
Thanks.
