deal with deadlock in d_walk()

commit ca5358ef upstream.

... by not hitting rename_retry for reasons other than rename having
happened.  In other words, do _not_ restart when finding that
between unlocking the child and locking the parent the former got
into __dentry_kill().  Skip the killed siblings instead...
