fs: force_reval_path drop rcu-walk before d_invalidate

Browse source 
d_revalidate can return in rcu-walk mode even when it returns 0.  We can't just
call any old dcache function on rcu-walk dentry (the dentry is unstable, so
even through d_lock can safely be taken, the result may no longer be what we
expect -- careful re-checks would be required). So just drop rcu in this case.

(I missed this conversion when switching to the rcu-walk convention that Linus
suggested)
