I suspect at this point it might be more obvious to simply remove dentry_lru_move_list. Just call dentry_lru_del to remove it from the lru, and then we can add it to the local dispose list without the need of any locking, similar to how it is done for inodes already.

It might be more obvious to use __dentry_lru_del + an opencoded list_add here.
