4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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.
