[PATCH] ReiserFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super()

[David Howells]

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super() so
that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the
dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.

What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_block_super().

This prevents the BUG_ON() in the reduced-locking dcache destroyer patch from
barking at reiserfs.

I've tested this patch by creating a ReiserFS partition, mounting and
unmounting it a few times, and doing things to its contents whilst it is
mounted.
