fix breakage in do_rmdir()
syzbot reported and bisected a use-after-free due to the recent init cleanups. The putname() should happen only after we'd *not* branched to retry, same as it's done in do_unlinkat(). Reported-by: syzbot+bbeb1c88016c7db4aa24@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: e24ab0ef689d "fs: push the getname from do_rmdir into the callers" Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
