Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix use-after-iput when fscrypt contexts are
 inconsistent

In the case where the child's encryption context was inconsistent with
its parent directory, we were using inode->i_sb and inode->i_ino after
the inode had already been iput().  Fix this by doing the iput() in the
correct places.

Note: only ext4 had this bug, not f2fs and ubifs.
