Subject: [PATCH 4.19 138/152] staging: erofs: remove the redundant d_rehash() for the root dentry

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

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

From: Gao Xiang <gaoxiang25@...wei.com>

commit e9c892465583c8f42d61fafe30970d36580925df upstream.

There is actually no need at all to d_rehash() for the root dentry
as Al pointed out, fix it.
