[PATCH 2/2] GFS2: Fix ref count bug relating to atomic_open

From: Steven Whitehouse
Date: Fri Nov 22 2013 - 05:36:09 EST


In the case that atomic_open calls finish_no_open() with
the dentry that was supplied to gfs2_atomic_open() an
extra reference count is required. This patch fixes that
issue preventing a bug trap triggering at umount time.
