Subject: [PATCH] vfs: Fix use-after-free of vfsmount by mnt_drop_write()

Hi,

Please review this. (This originally was for #untested branch, so this is
not minimal change perfectly.)



Those might be assuming that the nd->path.mnt refcnt is keeped by
filp after nameidata_to_filp().

It's wrong if nameidata_to_filp() returned the error.  (nd->path and
filp are invalid)

Instead to use deep knowledge of nameidata_to_filp() internal, this
thinks the nd->path is invalid after nameidata_to_filp(). So, this
just take refcnt for mnt_want/drop_write().
