[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 04/13] audit_get_nd(): don't unlock parent too early

From: Al Viro <viro(a)zeniv.linux.org.uk&gt; [ Upstream commit 69924b89687a2923e88cc42144aea27868913d0e ] if the child has been negative and just went positive under us, we want coherent d_is_positive() and ->d_inode. Don't unlock the parent until we'd done that work...
