fs: dcache reduce prune_one_dentry locking

Browse Source 
prune_one_dentry can avoid quite a bit of locking in the common case where
ancestors have an elevated refcount. Alternatively, we could have gone the
other way and made fewer trylocks in the case where d_count goes to zero, but
is probably less common.
