__dentry_kill(): get consistent rules for victim's refcount
Currently we call it with refcount equal to 1 when called from dentry_kill(); all other callers have it equal to 0. Make it always be called with zero refcount; on this step we just decrement it before the calls in dentry_kill(). That is safe, since all places that care about the value of refcount either do that under ->d_lock or hold a reference to dentry in question. Either is sufficient to prevent observing a dentry immediately prior to __dentry_kill() getting called from dentry_kill().
