Oops in dentry_iput with 2.6.22-rc2 on AMD64

[Florin Iucha]

I was running a multithreaded perl application that leaks some memory
so it gets to eat up a significant chunk of my 2 GB and even push a
bit into swap.  I left it running before going out for a walk.

When I got back, I found this in the log:
