[PATCH] move audit_dentry_unpin
Hello,
This patch fixes the error that Loulwa reported was hanging her system. What
was happening was that audit_dentry_unpin was being called under the
protection of the same spinlocks it was trying to hold itself (via the dput()
it was calling). To fix this, I moved audit_dentry_unpin outside of the
spinlocks where it belonged in the first place.
