#1350005 — [PATCH 3.12 107/116] NFSv4: Fix a dentry leak on alias use

From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@redhat.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit d9dfd8d741683347ee159d25f5b50c346a0df557 upstream.

In the case where d_add_unique() finds an appropriate alias to use it will
have already incremented the reference count.  An additional dget() to swap
the open context's dentry is unnecessary and will leak a reference.
