Subject: ovl: copy-up: don't unlock between lookup and link
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e85f82ff9b8ef503923a3be8ca6b5fd1908a7f3f upstream.
Nothing prevents mischief on upper layer while we are busy copying up the
data.
Move the lookup right before the looked up dentry is actually used.
