I mucked around with it a bit and combined your idea and my idea of how it 
should be done.  I "_think_" it should be A-okay now.  I'm going to release a 
patch momentarily and I'll try to explain fully what I'm doing with pinning 
(and I've even thrown in some comments to the code to ease the pain a 
little).  I was encountering deadlock with the way I was doing it previously 
(because I wasn't dropping the reference in d_delete and never getting to 
dentry_iput).
