The patch titled
     cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix

Subject: cifs: fix inode leak in cifs_get_inode_info_unix
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>

Try this:

    mount a share with unix extensions
    create a file on it
    umount the share

You'll get the following message in the ring buffer:

VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a
nice day...

...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing
a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first
lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this
inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression
caused by commit 0e4bbde94fdc33f5b3d793166b21bf768ca3e098.

The following patch seems to fix it for me, and fixes a minor
formatting nit as well.
