    commit 6404674acd596de41fd3ad5f267b4525494a891a upstream
    
    Brown paperbag time: fetching ->i_uid/->i_mode really should've been
    done from nd->inode.  I even suggested that, but the reason for that has
    slipped through the cracks and I went for dir->d_inode instead - made
    for more "obvious" patch.
    
    Analysis:
    
     - at the entry into do_last() and all the way to step_into(): dir (aka
       nd->path.dentry) is known not to have been freed; so's nd->inode and
       it's equal to dir->d_inode unless we are already doomed to -ECHILD.
       inode of the file to get opened is not known.
    
     - after step_into(): inode of the file to get opened is known; dir
       might be pointing to freed memory/be negative/etc.
    
     - at the call of may_create_in_sticky(): guaranteed to be out of RCU
       mode; inode of the file to get opened is known and pinned; dir might
       be garbage.
    
    The last was the reason for the original patch.  Except that at the
    do_last() entry we can be in RCU mode and it is possible that
    nd->path.dentry->d_inode has already changed under us.
    
    In that case we are going to fail with -ECHILD, but we need to be
    careful; nd->inode is pointing to valid struct inode and it's the same
    as nd->path.dentry->d_inode in "won't fail with -ECHILD" case, so we
    should use that.
