Heh. I should have read more email yesterday, but I was too busy
looking at the dentry code, so I didn't get to some of my mailbox
until now.

Happily, the reason I was too busy was that I had noticed that my
d_rcu_to_refcount() changes were bad, and spent that time cleaning it
up and fixing this bug.

So this should be fixed in the current tree (current top of tree,
commit e5c832d55588 in particular).
