the new patch is only different actually, but i suppose its possible
that you are getting a race between taking the entry's parent and the
lock_kernel().  this is mostly why i feel the latest version is more
correct.

we also probably dont need to call shrink_dcache_parent() on 
dentries that are not directories.
