start_removing_dentry() is similar to start_removing() but instead of providing a name for lookup, the target dentry is given. start_removing_dentry() checks that the dentry is still hashed and in the parent, and if so it locks and increases the refcount so that end_removing() can be used to finish the operation. This is used in cachefiles, overlayfs, smb/server, and apparmor. There will be other users including ecryptfs. As start_removing_dentry() takes an extra reference to the dentry (to be put by end_removing()), there is no need to explicitly take an extra reference to stop d_delete() from using dentry_unlink_inode() to negate the dentry - as in cachefiles_delete_object(), and ksmbd_vfs_unlink(). cachefiles_bury_object() now gets an extra ref to the victim, which is drops. As it includes the needed end_removing() calls, the caller doesn't need them.
