Subject[PATCH v4 2/5] fsnotify: Use d_find_any_alias to get dentry associated with inode
Date
Rather than iterating over the inode's i_dentry (requiring holding the
i_lock for the entire duration of the function), we know that there
should be only one item in the list. Use d_find_any_alias() and no
longer hold i_lock.

Notes:
Changes in v4:
- Bail out if d_find_any_alias() returns NULL
- Rebase on Amir's patch
Changes in v3:
- Add newlines in block comment
- d_find_any_alias() returns a reference, which I was leaking. Add
a dput(alias) at the end.
- Add Amir's R-b
