But that changed when a race was found where the ei->dentry needed to be cleared when the last dput() was called on it. But there was still logic that checked if ei->dentry was not NULL and is_freed is set, and would warn if it was. But since that situation was changed and the ei->dentry isn't cleared until the last dput() is called on it while the ei->is_freed is set, do not test for that condition anymore, and change the comments to reflect that.
