Subject: [PATCH 4.6 184/203] ovl: fix dentry leak for default_permissions

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

commit a4859d75944a726533ab86d24bb5ffd1b2b7d6cc upstream.

When using the 'default_permissions' mount option, ovl_permission() on
non-directories was missing a dput(alias), resulting in "BUG Dentry still
in use".

Fixes: 8d3095f4ad47 ("ovl: default permissions")
