[PATCH 1/7] vfs: dentry_unhash immediately prior to rmdir

From: Sage Weil
Date: Wed Mar 30 2011 - 18:02:24 EST


This presumes that there is no reason to unhash a dentry if we fail because
it is a mountpoint or the LSM check fails, and that the LSM checks do not
depend on the dentry being unhashed.
