vfs - fix dentry ref count in do_lookup()
There is a ref count problem in fs/namei.c:do_lookup(). When walking in ref-walk mode, if follow_managed() returns a fail we need to drop dentry and possibly vfsmount. Clean up properly, as we do in the other caller of follow_managed(). Signed-off-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
