3.2.67-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When backporting commit 4023bfc9f351 ("be careful with nd->inode in
path_init() and follow_dotdot_rcu()"), I failed to account for the
vfsmount_lock that is used in 3.2 but not upstream. path_init() takes
the lock if performing RCU lookup, but must drop it if (and only if)
it subsequently fails.
