[PATCH 3.16 209/245] do_last(): fetch directory ->i_mode and ->i_uid before it's too late

[Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d0cb50185ae942b03c4327be322055d622dc79f6 upstream.

may_create_in_sticky() call is done when we already have dropped the
reference to dir.

Fixes: 30aba6656f61e (namei: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular files)
