If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yan, Zheng commit efe328230dc01aa0b1269aad0b5fae73eea4677a upstream. This reverts commit 8b8f53af1ed9df88a4c0fbfdf3db58f62060edf3. splice_dentry() is used by three places. For two places, req->r_dentry is passed to splice_dentry(). In the case of error, req->r_dentry does not get updated. So splice_dentry() should not drop reference.
