Fix mountpoint reference leakage in linkat
Recent changes to retry on ESTALE in linkat (commit 442e31ca5a49e398351b2954b51f578353fdf210) introduced a mountpoint reference leak and a small memory leak in case a filesystem link operation returns ESTALE which is pretty normal for distributed filesystems like lustre, nfs and so on. Free old_path in such a case. [AV: there was another missing path_put() nearby - on the previous goto retry] Signed-off-by: Oleg Drokin: <green@linuxhacker.ru> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
