4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 164f7e586739d07eb56af6f6d66acebb11f315c8 ] ocfs2_get_dentry() calls iput(inode) to drop the reference count of inode, and if the reference count hits 0, inode is freed. However, in this function, it then reads inode->i_generation, which may result in a use after free bug. Move the put operation later.
