Hang/soft lockup in d_invalidate with simultaneous calls
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826212 commit 81be24d2 upstream. It's not hard to trigger a bunch of d_invalidate() on the same dentry in parallel. They end up fighting each other - any dentry picked for removal by one will be skipped by the rest and we'll go for the next iteration through the entire subtree, even if everything is being skipped. Morevoer, we immediately go back to scanning the subtree. The only thing we really need is to dissolve all mounts in the subtree and as soon as we've nothing left to do, we can just unhash the dentry and bugger off.
