fs: block_dump missing dentry locking
I think the block_dump output in __mark_inode_dirty is missing dentry locking. Surely the i_dentry list can change any time, so we may not even *get* a dentry there. If we do get one by chance, then it would appear to be able to go away or get renamed at any time... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
