NFSD: only call fh_unlock() once in nfsd_link()
[ Upstream commit e18bcb33bc5b69bccc2b532075aa00bb49cc01c5 ]
On non-error paths, nfsd_link() calls fh_unlock() twice. This is safe
because fh_unlock() records that the unlock has been done and doesn't
repeat it.
However it makes the code a little confusing and interferes with changes
that are planned for directory locking.
So rearrange the code to ensure fh_unlock() is called exactly once if
fh_lock() was called.
