That's the livelock.  OK.  But in the stack traces below
	a) that systemd-udevd instance is happily running in userland
and
	b) the only traces of dentry_kill() in the stack are noise
in stacks of gdbus and dbus-daemon.

*grumble*  I wonder if we should instrument d_shrink_add()/d_lru_shrink_mode()
so that they would tag dentry with pointer to current, allowing us to report
something useful in select_collect()...

What's really strange is that the same livelock seems to repeat at least
once more; dentries involved the first time around should've been dead
and buried by then.  And AFAICS, in the log you've originally posted
exactly that has happened - both times to the same process...

Do these livelocks keep happening indefinitely, once triggered?  IOW,
is that a buggered state of dcache and/or kernfs, or is it a transient pileup
that happens when we invalidate a subtree there?
