[PATCH 03/15] configfs_detach_prep(): make sure that wait_mutex won't go away

From: Al Viro
Date: Fri Apr 15 2016 - 20:55:48 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

grab a reference to dentry we'd got the sucker from, and return
that dentry via *wait, rather than just returning the address of
->i_mutex.
