From: menage@google.com (Paul Menage)

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to check for passing an unreferenced dentry to dput().

This is analogous to the similar check in dget(), and will make
reference-counting bugs in filesystems more immediately obvious. (I
just spent a while debugging an oops that turned out to be due to
broken fs reference counting.)
