Subject: ufs: Fix warning from unlock_new_inode()

From: Jan Kara <[email protected]>

commit 12ecbb4b1d765a5076920999298d9625439dbe58 upstream.

Commit e4502c63f56aeca88 (ufs: deal with nfsd/iget races) introduced unlock_new_inode() call into ufs_add_nondir(). However that function gets called also from ufs_link() which hands it already initialized inode and thus unlock_new_inode() complains. The problem is harmless but annoying.

Fix the problem by opencoding necessary stuff in ufs_link()

Fixes e4502c63f56aeca887ced37f24e0def1ef11cec8
