[PATCH] namei fixes (13/19)
In open_namei() exit_dput: we have mntput() done in the wrong order - if nd->mnt != path.mnt we end up doing mntput(nd->mnt); nd->mnt = path.mnt; dput(nd->dentry); mntput(nd->mnt); which drops nd->dentry too late. Fixed by having path.mnt go first. That allows to switch O_NOFOLLOW under if (__follow_mount(...)) back to exit_dput, while we are at it. Fix for early-mntput() race + equivalent transformation.
