Subject: Do not call shrink_dcache_sb when remounting procfs etc
Patch-mainline: Not yet
References: 165672
Patch-mainline: not yet

Avoid calls to shrink_dcache_sb when mounting a file system that
uses get_sb_single. shrink_dcache_sb is costly. On large ia64
systems, this will keep the dcache lock for > 60 seconds at
a stretch.
