MDCACHE - Keep an entry pointer in dirent when ref'd When a dirent has a ref on an entry, it may still not be able to look the entry up, because it may become unreachable. In this case, we can't drop the ref. Instead, keep a temporary pointer to the entry that is valid only when we have the ref, and use this instead of looking it up.
