Better
	inode = file_inode(file);

so that child would be completely ignored after dput().

Umm...  I'm not sure that losing it is the right thing - it might
be argued that ->permission(..., MAY_OPEN) is to be ignored for
tmpfile (and the only thing checking for MAY_OPEN is nfs, which is
*not* going to grow tmpfile any time soon - certainly not with these
calling conventions), but you are also dropping the call of
security_inode_permission(inode, MAY_OPEN) and that's a change
compared to what LSM crowd used to get...
