Subject[patch 55/61] lock validator: special locking: sb->s_umount
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

workaround for special sb->s_umount locking rule.

s_umount gets held across a series of lock dropping and releasing
in prune_one_dentry(), so i changed the order, at the risk of
introducing a umount race. FIXME.

i think a better fix would be to do the unlocks as _non_nested in
prune_one_dentry(), and to do the up_read() here as
an up_read_non_nested() as well?
