Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 76/98] ncpfs: fix a braino in OOM handling in ncp_fill_cache()

4.2.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

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

commit 803c00123a8012b3a283c0530910653973ef6d8f upstream.

Failing to allocate an inode for child means that cache for *parent* is
incompletely populated.  So it's parent directory inode ('dir') that
needs NCPI_DIR_CACHE flag removed, *not* the child inode ('inode', which
is what we'd failed to allocate in the first place).

Fucked-up-in: commit 5e993e25 ("ncpfs: get rid of d_validate() nonsense")
