[RFC,PATH,2/4] vfs: introduce delete trylock/unlock

Commit Message

Amir Goldstein Nov. 10, 2016, 10:44 p.m. UTC

A delete lock prevents a dentry from being unlinked and renamed,
for as long as the dentry remains in cache.

Introduce the helpers delete_trylock() and delete_unlock(), which
use test_and_set and test_and_clear semantics to ser/clear a delete
lock on a dentry.
