Just for clarification, the AIM7 workload is not affected by the current
d_path() code, they are speed-limited by the lock contention in the
dcache reference counting code. However, both the d_path() change and
the dentry reference counting change are needed to to eliminate the
overhead introduced by the use of the perf-record command.
