Looking at the source of tag next-20181214 in linux-next-history I see
this is mistake I made due to incorrect error handling which I fixed
soon after (there was in fact a double iput()).

I'm pretty sure this never made it to a released kernel so unless
there's a report of this in a stable released kernel I'm going to
move on.
