autofs braino fix for do_last()
It's an analogue of commit 7500c38a (fix the braino in "namei: massage lookup_slow() to be usable by lookup_one_len_unlocked()"). The same problem (->lookup()-returned unhashed negative dentry just might be an autofs one with ->d_manage() that would wait until the daemon makes it positive) applies in do_last() - we need to do follow_managed() first. Fortunately, remaining callers of follow_managed() are OK - only autofs has that weirdness (negative dentry that does not mean an instant -ENOENT)) and autofs never has its negative dentries hashed, so we can't pick one from a dcache lookup. ->d_manage() is a bloody mess ;-/ Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.6 Spotted-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
