v3.19.8-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit f93812846f31381d35c04c6c577d724254355e7f upstream.

d_instantiate(new_dentry, old_inode) is absolutely wrong thing to
do - it will oops if new_dentry used to be positive, for starters.
What we need is d_invalidate() the target and be done with that.
