nfs_unlink() calls d_delete() twice if it receives ENOENT from the
server - once in nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() from nfs_safe_remove and
once in nfs_dentry_remove_handle_error().
nfs_rmddir() also calls it twice - the nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() call
is direct and inside a region locked with ->rmdir_sem
It is safe to call d_delete() twice if the refcount > 1 as the dentry is
simply unhashed.
If the refcount is 1, the first call sets d_inode to NULL and the second
call crashes.
This patch guards the d_delete() call from nfs_dentry_handle_enoent()
leaving the one under ->remdir_sem in case that is important.
In mainline it would be safe to remove the d_delete() call. However in
older kernels to which this might be backported, that would change the
behaviour of nfs_unlink(). nfs_unlink() used to unhash the dentry which
resulted in nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() not calling d_delete(). So in
older kernels we need the d_delete() in nfs_dentry_remove_handle_error()
when called from nfs_unlink() but not when called from nfs_rmdir().
To make the code work correctly for old and new kernels, and from both
nfs_unlink() and nfs_rmdir(), we protect the d_delete() call with
simple_positive(). This ensures it is never called in a circumstance
where it could crash.
