Alex Markuze 305935130d ceph: fix race condition where r_parent becomes stale before sending message
commit bec324f33d1ed346394b2eee25bf6dbf3511f727 upstream.

When the parent directory's i_rwsem is not locked, req->r_parent may become
stale due to concurrent operations (e.g. rename) between dentry lookup and
message creation. Validate that r_parent matches the encoded parent inode
and update to the correct inode if a mismatch is detected.

[ idryomov: folded a follow-up fix from Alex to drop extra reference
  from ceph_get_reply_dir() in ceph_fill_trace():

  ceph_get_reply_dir() may return a different, referenced inode when
  r_parent is stale and the parent directory lock is not held.
  ceph_fill_trace() used that inode but failed to drop the reference
  when it differed from req->r_parent, leaking an inode reference.

  Keep the directory inode in a local variable and iput() it at
  function end if it does not match req->r_parent. ]
