[PATCH v4 1/3] fs/dcache: Fix incorrect nr_dentry_unused accounting in shrink_dcache_sb()

[Waiman Long]

The nr_dentry_unused per-cpu counter tracks dentries in both the
LRU lists and the shrink lists where the DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit is set.
The shrink_dcache_sb() function moves dentries from the LRU list to a
shrink list and subtracts the dentry count from nr_dentry_unused. This
is incorrect as the nr_dentry_unused count Will also be decremented in
shrink_dentry_list() via d_shrink_del(). To fix this double decrement,
the decrement in the shrink_dcache_sb() function is taken out.

Fixes: 4e717f5c1083 ("list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all."
