We set the "it's dead, don't mount on it" flag _and_ do not remove it if
we turn the damn thing negative and leave it around.  And if it goes
positive afterwards, well...

Fortunately, there's only one place where that needs to be caught:
only d_delete() can turn the sucker negative without immediately freeing
it; all other places that can lead to ->d_iput() call are followed by
unconditionally freeing struct dentry in question.  So the fix is obvious:
