Subject: ext4/fscrypto: avoid RCU lookup in d_revalidate
From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 03a8bb0e53d9562276045bdfcf2b5de2e4cff5a1 upstream.
As Al pointed, d_revalidate should return RCU lookup before using d_inode.
This was originally introduced by:
commit 34286d666230 ("fs: rcu-walk aware d_revalidate method").
