Subject: ovl: rearrange ovl_follow_link to it doesn't need to call ->put_link
X-Git-Tag: v4.14-rc1~5077^2~158
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3188b2955de3d01949ec54eb2c9ff1ecaa0a752d;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

ovl: rearrange ovl_follow_link to it doesn't need to call ->put_link

ovl_follow_link current calls ->put_link on an error path.
However ->put_link is about to change in a way that it will be
impossible to call it from ovl_follow_link.

So rearrange the code to avoid the need for that error path.
Specifically: move the kmalloc() call before the ->follow_link()
call to the subordinate filesystem.
