Subject: [124/244] restore pinning the victim dentry in vfs_rmdir()/vfs_rename_dir()

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Al Viro <viro@...IV.linux.org.uk>

commit 1d2ef5901483004d74947bbf78d5146c24038fe7 upstream.

We used to get the victim pinned by dentry_unhash() prior to commit
64252c75a219 ("vfs: remove dget() from dentry_unhash()") and ->rmdir()
and ->rename() instances relied on that; most of them don't care, but
ones that used d_delete() themselves do.  As the result, we are getting
rmdir() oopses on NFS now.

Just grab the reference before locking the victim and drop it explicitly
after unlocking, same as vfs_rename_other() does.
