    ms/dcache: lift the "already marked killed" case into shrink_dentry_list()
    
    It can happen only when dentry_kill() is called with unlock_on_failure
    equal to 0 - other callers had dentry pinned until the moment they've
    got ->d_lock and DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED is set only after lockref_mark_dead().
    
    IOW, only one of three call sites of dentry_kill() might end up reaching
    that code.  Just move it there.
