From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 580c610429b3994e8db24418927747cf28443cde ] One error path can result in release_dentry_name_snapshot() being called before "name" was initialized by take_dentry_name_snapshot(). Fix by moving the release_dentry_name_snapshot() to immediately after the only use.
