Not all of them. It _is_ legal to do d_add() on a negative dentry.
Doing that for hashed dentries is a bug
Is it valid to call d_add on a negative dentry?
(or on a dentry that is already linked in d_hash, but all negative
dentries are, right?)
I'm guessing it isn't because I think that is how I can get my machine to
hang in d_lookup, looping on a corrupt d_hash list.
