[PATCH] fs: Kill DCACHE_DONTCACHE dentry even if DCACHE_REFERENCED is set

Currently, DCACHE_REFERENCED prevents the dentry with DCACHE_DONTCACHE
set from being killed, so the corresponding inode can't be evicted. If
the DAX policy of an inode is changed, we can't make policy changing
take effects unless dropping caches manually.

This patch fixes this problem and flushes the inode to disk to prepare
for evicting it.
