Subject: [PATCH 4.7 130/143] staging/lustre/llite: Close atomic_open race with several openers

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

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

From: Oleg Drokin <green@...uxhacker.ru>

commit 99f1c013194e64d4b67d5d318148303b0e1585e1 upstream.

Right now, if it's an open of a negative dentry, a race is possible
with several openers who all try to instantiate/rehash the same
dentry and would hit a BUG_ON in d_add.
But in fact if we got a negative dentry in atomic_open, that means
we just revalidated it so no point in talking to MDS at all,
just return ENOENT and make the race go away completely.
