[PATCH 5.3 015/105] autofs: fix a leak in autofs_expire_indirect()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Dec 11 2019 - 11:02:36 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 03ad0d703df75c43f78bd72e16124b5b94a95188 ]

if the second call of should_expire() in there ends up
grabbing and returning a new reference to dentry, we need
to drop it before continuing.
