    vfs: call d_op->d_prune() before unhashing dentry · 590fb51f

    The d_prune dentry operation is used to notify filesystem when VFS
    about to prune a hashed dentry from the dcache. There are three
    code paths that prune dentries: shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree(),
    prune_dcache_sb() and d_prune_aliases(). For the d_prune_aliases()
    case, VFS unhashes the dentry first, then call the d_prune dentry
    operation. This confuses ceph_d_prune() (ceph uses the d_prune
    dentry operation to maintain a flag indicating whether the complete
    contents of a directory are in the dcache, pruning unhashed dentry
    does not affect dir's completeness)
    
    This patch fixes the issue by calling the d_prune dentry operation
    in d_prune_aliases(), before unhashing the dentry. Also make VFS
    only call the d_prune dentry operation for hashed dentry, to avoid
    calling the d_prune dentry operation twice when dentry is pruned
    by d_prune_aliases().
