[PATCH] select_parent

Minor patch.

fs/dcache.c:select_parent() moves unused dentries to the head of the
unused list, ready for a call to prune_dcache(). However, it doesn't
clear the referenced-bit. At worst, this could result in a bit of
extra work and a few unnecessary dentires reaped.

Please apply.
