Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.1 05/70] staging: erofs: set sb->s_root to NULL when failing from __getname()

From: Chengguang Xu <cgxu519@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit f2dcb8841e6b155da098edae09125859ef7e853d ]

Set sb->s_root to NULL when failing from __getname(),
so that we can avoid double dput and unnecessary operations
in generic_shutdown_super().
