460 iget5_locked()/ilookup5()/ilookup5_nowait() test() callback used to be
461 called with both ->i_lock and inode_hash_lock held; the former is *not*
462 taken anymore, so verify that your callbacks do not rely on it (none

464 of course, so they are still serialized wrt removal from inode hash,
465 as well as wrt set() callback of iget5_locked().
