It seems to make sense; I need to convince myself that every other user
of the erase_free_sem is actually OK with it. I think
jffs2_g_c_deletion_dirent() should be OK, at first glance. I'm less
convinced about jffs2_mark_node_obsolete(), where we currently hold the
erase_free_sem while we actually mark the node obsolete. Will look into
it...
