commit 672e4268b2863d7e4978dfed29552b31c2f9bd4e upstream.
ovl_dentry_revalidate_common() can be called in rcu-walk mode. As document
said, "in rcu-walk mode, d_parent and d_inode should not be used without
care".
Check inode here to protect access under rcu-walk mode.
Fixes: bccece1ead36 ("ovl: allow remote upper")
