There is a nasty deadlock problem with spu_forget(), which we
must call after unlocking i_mutex but before the final dput, IIRC.

The path down there is something like

spu_forget -> mmput -> exit_mmap -> remove_vma ->
fput -> dput -> dentry_iput -> iput -> iput_final ->
spufs_delete_inode -> destroy_spu_context.
