[PATCH] smb: client: hold the inode across cifs_oplock_break()

[Joseph Qi]

cifs_oplock_break() drops the handle reference in the middle of the
handler and keeps using cinode afterwards, to send the break
acknowledgment and again in cifs_done_oplock_break().  The reference
cifs_queue_oplock_break() takes is the only pin: the handle holds the
dentry and the dentry is what keeps the inode alive.

When that put is the last reference, the dput() in
cifsFileInfo_put_final() kills an unhashed dentry, drops the last
i_count and evicts the inode, so the rest of the handler runs on an
object whose free is only RCU-deferred.  An unhashed dentry that a
handle still references is an ordinary state: unlinking an open file
leaves the dentry that way, and so does the dcache teardown at unmount.

Take a reference on the inode for the lifetime of the handler and drop
it once the break has been reported.  This also covers the
cifs_get_tlink() failure path, where the put is followed directly by
the out label.

Fixes: 23b26f4408ac ("smb: client: avoid leaking refcount when cifs_sb_tlink() fails")
