Subject: [PATCH 4.14 53/59] block/loop: Dont grab "struct file" for vfs_getattr() operation.

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

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

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

commit b1ab5fa309e6c49e4e06270ec67dd7b3e9971d04 upstream.

vfs_getattr() needs "struct path" rather than "struct file".
Let's use path_get()/path_put() rather than get_file()/fput().
