The NULL check for @tcon is unnecessary. This seems to be called only
with a valid @tcon.

Why are you adding a blank newline?

The non-NULL check of @dentry->d_parent is unnecessary.
cifs_invalidate_cached_dir() already handles it.

Why do you need to dget() ->d_parent?

The non-NULL checks are unnecessary. dput() already handles NULL
dentries.
