Subject: [PATCH 3.11 001/208] GFS2: Fix ref count bug relating to atomic_open

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

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

From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@...hat.com>

commit ea0341e071527d5cec350917b01ab901af09d758 upstream.

In the case that atomic_open calls finish_no_open() with
the dentry that was supplied to gfs2_atomic_open() an
extra reference count is required. This patch fixes that
issue preventing a bug trap triggering at umount time.
