inode: remove iprune_sem
Now that we have per-sb shrinkers with a lifecycle that is a subset of the superblock lifecycle and can reliably detect a filesystem being unmounted, there is not longer any race condition for the iprune_sem to protect against. Hence we can remove it. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
