Extract the common code to remove a dentry from the lru into a new function
dentry_lru_remove().
Two call sites used list_del() instead of list_del_init(). AFAIK the
performance of both is the same. dentry_lru_remove() does a list_del_init().
As a result dentry->d_lru is now always empty when a dentry is freed.
A consistent state is useful to establish dentry state from slab defrag.
