[PATCH] namei fixes (13/19)
In open_namei() exit_dput: we have mntput() done in the wrong order -
if nd->mnt != path.mnt we end up doing
mntput(nd->mnt);
nd->mnt = path.mnt;
dput(nd->dentry);
mntput(nd->mnt);
which drops nd->dentry too late. Fixed by having path.mnt go first.
That allows to switch O_NOFOLLOW under if (__follow_mount(...)) back
to exit_dput, while we are at it.
Fix for early-mntput() race + equivalent transformation.
