4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
commit 3d43bcfef5f0548845a425365011c499875491b0 upstream.
This avoids potential problems caused by a race where the inode gets
renamed out from its parent directory and the parent directory is
deleted while ext4_d_revalidate() is running.
Fixes: 28b4c263961c
