Subject: [PATCH v2] cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file()

From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@...wei.com>

A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent:

            P1             |             P2
-----------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_lookup_cookie
  cachefiles_look_up_object
    lookup_one_positive_unlocked
     // get dentry
                            cachefiles_cull
                              inode->i_flags |= S_KERNEL_FILE;
    cachefiles_open_file
      cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
        __cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
          can_use = false
          if (!(inode->i_flags & S_KERNEL_FILE))
            can_use = true
	  return false
        return false
        // Returns an error but doesn't put dentry

After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder
is umounted:

==================================================================

Whether cachefiles_open_file() returns true or false, the reference count
obtained by lookup_positive_unlocked() in cachefiles_look_up_object()
should be released.

Therefore release that reference count in cachefiles_look_up_object() to
fix the above issue and simplify the code.
