affs_lookup(): close a race with affs_remove_link()
we unlock the directory hash too early - if we are looking at secondary link and primary (in another directory) gets removed just as we unlock, we could have the old primary moved in place of the secondary, leaving us to look into freed entry (and leaving our dentry with ->d_fsdata pointing to a freed entry).
