I don't see the point that we need two different versions of
shrink_dcache_sb(). IMHO it is better to fix shrink_dcache_for_umount() so
that it is a replacement for shrink_dcache_sb().
BTW: Talking about shrink_dcache_sb(): is it really necessary to call
shrink_dcache_sb() when remounting a filesystem? The only reason I can see are
changes to the lookup mechanism (hash algorithm etc) but a quick look into the
different filesystems forbid the change of this options during remount.
