cachefiles: Fix double unlock in nomem_d_alloc error path
When start_creating() fails and returns -ENOMEM, it has already
released the parent directory lock in __start_dirop():
static struct dentry *__start_dirop(...)
{
...
inode_lock_nested(dir, I_MUTEX_PARENT);
dentry = lookup_one_qstr_excl(name, parent, lookup_flags);
if (IS_ERR(dentry))
inode_unlock(dir); <-- Lock released on error
return dentry;
}
However, the nomem_d_alloc error path in cachefiles_get_directory()
unconditionally calls inode_unlock(d_inode(dir)) again, causing a
double unlock that corrupts the rwsem state.
This is a leftover from commit 7ab96df840e60 which replaced manual
locking with start_creating() but failed to update the nomem_d_alloc
path (while correctly updating mkdir_error and lookup_error paths).
Fixes: 7ab96df840e6 ("VFS/nfsd/cachefiles/ovl: add start_creating() and end_creating()")
