Subject: [PATCH 4.8 35/37] ima: use file_dentry()

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

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

commit e71b9dff0634edb127f449e076e883ef24a8c76c upstream.

Ima tries to call ->setxattr() on overlayfs dentry after having locked
underlying inode, which results in a deadlock.

Reported-by: Krisztian Litkey <kli@....fi>
Fixes: 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay")
