Subject: [PATCH] fuse: don't keep inode-less dentry at fuse_ctl_add_dentry().

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at fuse_ctl_remove_conn() [1].
Since fc->ctl_ndents is incremented by fuse_ctl_add_conn() when new_inode()
failed, fuse_ctl_remove_conn() reaches an inode-less dentry and tries to
clear d_inode(dentry)->i_private field. Fix this by calling dput() rather
than incrementing fc->ctl_ndents when new_inode() failed.
