[PATCH] ovl_obtain_alias(): don't call d_instantiate_anon() for old dentry

[Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>]

[Miklos, Amir - is there anything subtle I'm missing here?]

The situation is the same as for __d_obtain_alias() (which is what
that thing is parallel to) - if we find a preexisting alias, we
want to grab it, drop the inode and return the alias we'd found.

The only thing d_instantiate_anon() does compared to that is
spurious security_d_instiate() that has already been done to
that dentry with exact same arguments.
