vfs: reorganize dput() memory accesses

This is me being a bit OCD after all the dentry optimization work this
merge window: profiles end up showing 'dput()' as a rather expensive
operation, and there were two unrelated bad reasons for that.

The first reason was reading d_lockref.count for debugging purposes,
which touches the lockref cacheline (for reads) before really need to.
More importantly, the debugging test in question is _wrong_, and has
hidden bugs.  It's true that we can only sleep when the count goes down
to zero, but the test as-is hides the much more subtle bug that happens
if we race with somebody else deleting the file.

Anyway we _will_ touch that cacheline, but let's do it for a write and
in the right routine (ie in "lockref_put_or_lock()") which annotates the
costs better.  So remove the misleading debug code.

The other was an unnecessary access to the cacheline that contains the
d_lru list, just to check whether we already were on the LRU list or
not.  This is exactly what we have d_flags for, so that we can avoid
touching extra cache lines for the common case.  So just add another bit
for "is this dentry on the LRU".

Finally, mark the tests properly likely/unlikely, so that the common
fast-paths are dense in the instruction stream.

This makes the profiles look much saner.
