d_prune_alias(): just lock the parent and call __dentry_kill() 

The only reason for games with ->d_prune() was __d_drop(), which
was needed only to force dput() into killing the sucker off.

Note that lock_parent() can be called under ->i_lock and won't
drop it, so dentry is safe from somebody managing to kill it
under us - it won't happen while we are holding ->i_lock.

__dentry_kill() is called only with ->d_lockref.count being 0
(here and when picked from shrink list) or 1 (dput() and dropping
the ancestors in shrink_dentry_list()), so it will never be called
twice - the first thing it's doing is making ->d_lockref.count
negative and once that happens, nothing will increment it.
