[perf] Check caching on IncRef'd dentries before the others.
When a child is added to a parent (directory) dentry, both child and parent are queued for checkCachingLocked(). Make sure that the parent is queued first because the parent gained a ref and so could be removed from the LRU cache hence making space for the new child. This could prevent an LRU cache eviction. In practice, this did seem to help. ~800 RPCs were reduced while building //absl/... (ABSL build benchmark). Evictions hurt in 2 ways - create renameMu contention and destroy a possibly useful dentry which will have to be re-walked and re-opened later. Follow up fix for #5859. PiperOrigin-RevId: 371509392
