From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> We need to dereference the directory to get its parent to be able to rename it, so it's clearly not safe to try to do this with ERR_PTR() pointers. Skip in this case. It seems that this is most likely what was causing the report by syzbot, but I'm not entirely sure as it didn't come with a reproducer this time.
