[PATCH 5.2 124/124] vfs: Fix refcounting of filenames in fs_parser

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7cdfa44227b0d8842d46a775cebe4311150cb8f2 upstream.

Fix an overput in which filename_lookup() unconditionally drops a ref to
the filename it was given, but this isn't taken account of in the caller,
fs_lookup_param().
