Yeah this should have a WARN_ON_ONCE() because the only way to get here
with having a dentry and the ef->dentry being set is if we have two
dentries with the same name in the same directory. Which should never
happen.

I think we can add:

		/*
		 * Should never happen unless we get here due to being freed.
		 * Otherwise it means two dentries exist with the same name.
		 */
		WARN_ON_ONCE(!ef->is_freed);
