Good catch.  I was also able to reproduce it with CONFIG_KASAN=y when
running xfstests generic/011 multiple times.

Aren't you supposed to return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) when !dentry
(e.g. rcu-walk mode)?

Can't you get rid of above kmalloc() inside spin lock and do something
like

        target_path = kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!target_path)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

        spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
        if (likely(CIFS_I(inode)->symlink_target))
                strscpy(target_path, CIFS_I(inode)->symlink_target, PATH_MAX);
        else {
                kfree(target_path);
                target_path = ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP);
        }
        spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);

        if (!IS_ERR(target_path))
                set_delayed_call(done, kfree_link, target_path);

        return target_path;
