[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] ocfs2: Add missing iput() during error handling in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()

[Sunil Mushran]

In ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock(), if unable to get the dentry lock(), we need to
call iput(inode) because a failure here means no d_instantiate(), which means
the normally matching iput() will not be called during dput(dentry).

This patch fixes the oops that accompanies the following message:
(3996,1):dlm_empty_lockres:2708 ERROR: lockres W00000000000000000a1046b06a4382 still has local locks!
kernel BUG in dlm_empty_lockres at /rpmbuild/smushran/BUILD/ocfs2-1.4.2/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c:2709!
