Ceph uses a flag to track if the dcache contents for a directory are complete,
and it relies on d_prune() to clear the flag when some dentries are trimmed.
We noticed that dentry_lru_prune() sometimes does not call ceph_d_prune().
It seems the dentry in question is ancestor trimmed by try_prune_one_dentry().
