fs: Give dentry to inode_change_ok() instead of inode
commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream. inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok() to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some modifications in addition to checks. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> [bwh: Backported to 3.16: - Drop changes to orangefs, overlayfs - Adjust filenames, context - In fuse, pass dentry to fuse_do_setattr() - In nfsd, pass dentry to nfsd_sanitize_attrs() - In xfs, pass dentry to xfs_setattr_nonsize() and xfs_setattr_size() - Update ext3 as well] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
