Series fsnotify: fix softlockups iterating over d_subdirs | expand

Rather than iterating over the inode's i_dentry (requiring holding the
i_lock for the entire duration of the function), we know that there
should be only one item in the list. Use d_find_any_alias() and no
longer hold i_lock.

Notes:
    Changes in v4:
    - Bail out if d_find_any_alias() returns NULL
    - Rebase on Amir's patch
    Changes in v3:
    - Add newlines in block comment
    - d_find_any_alias() returns a reference, which I was leaking. Add
      a dput(alias) at the end.
    - Add Amir's R-b

nit: this comment can probably fit in two nicer lines
