[PATCH vfs/for-next] vfs: fix vfs_get_single_reconf_super error handling

[Eric Biggers]

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

syzbot reported an invalid free in debugfs_release_dentry().  The
reproducer tries to mount debugfs with the 'dirsync' option, which is
not allowed.  The bug is that if reconfigure_super() fails in
vfs_get_super(), deactivate_locked_super() is called, but also
fs_context::root is left non-NULL which causes deactivate_super() to be
called again later.

Fix it by releasing fs_context::root in the error path.
