[PATCH 4.17 62/63] cxl_getfile(): fix double-iput() on alloc_file() failures

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d202797f480c0e5918e7642d6716cdc62b3ab5c9 upstream.

Doing iput() after path_put() is wrong.
