[patch 3/5] vfs: remove shrink_dcache_anon()

[jblunck@suse.de]

After shrink_dcache_anon() is unexported there is only one caller
(generic_shutdown_super()). Instead of calling shrink_dcache_anon() and
shrink_dcache_parent() it is better to call shrink_dcache_sb(). Therefore
shrink_dcache_sb() is extended by also reordering the anonymous dentries in
the unused list. This way we get rid of all unused dentries when we touch them
the first time instead of checking for DCACHE_REFERENCED and adding them back
to the list again.
