Subject: [PATCH 4.10 078/167] ext4: fix use-after-iput when fscrypt contexts are inconsistent

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

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit dd01b690f8f4b1e414f89e5a9a5326bf720d6652 upstream.

In the case where the child's encryption context was inconsistent with
its parent directory, we were using inode->i_sb and inode->i_ino after
the inode had already been iput().  Fix this by doing the iput() in the
correct places.

Note: only ext4 had this bug, not f2fs and ubifs.

Fixes: d9cdc9033181 ("ext4 crypto: enforce context consistency")
