The fix looks right.

However I think this conflict highlights a larger issue, as there are
several other filesystems that call check_submounts_and_drop from the
devalidate and possibly from rcu_walk today.

Miklos what problem did you run into?

Sigh.  It looks like it probably makes sense to merge
shrink_submounts_and_drop with d_invalidate, so filesystems don't even
need to think about this issue.
