msdos fs problems

Just a heads up for bug trackers -- I've just run into a serious problem
while stress-testing the msdos fs. Running a series of nasty scripts
(usually reserved for NFS :-) triggered a bunch of messages -- first a
warning about switching inodes in a busy dentry, then a call to d_move()
with an unhashed target, followed by warnings of the FAT cache being
corrupted and finally a fs panic.

I've got an idea of how to fix the busy-dentry inode switch problem, but
this may not be related to the other problems.

Anyway, it looks serious and needs to get fixed for 2.2 ...

Regards,
Bill
