vfs: fix do_last() regression
Brown paperbag time: fetching ->i_uid/->i_mode really should've been
done from nd->inode. I even suggested that, but the reason for that has
slipped through the cracks and I went for dir->d_inode instead - made
for more "obvious" patch.
Analysis:
- at the entry into do_last() and all the way to step_into(): dir (aka
nd->path.dentry) is known not to have been freed; so's nd->inode and
it's equal to dir->d_inode unless we are already doomed to -ECHILD.
inode of the file to get opened is not known.
- after step_into(): inode of the file to get opened is known; dir
might be pointing to freed memory/be negative/etc.
- at the call of may_create_in_sticky(): guaranteed to be out of RCU
mode; inode of the file to get opened is known and pinned; dir might
be garbage.
The last was the reason for the original patch. Except that at the
do_last() entry we can be in RCU mode and it is possible that
nd->path.dentry->d_inode has already changed under us.
In that case we are going to fail with -ECHILD, but we need to be
careful; nd->inode is pointing to valid struct inode and it's the same
as nd->path.dentry->d_inode in "won't fail with -ECHILD" case, so we
should use that.
