PATCH 1/1 ovl: fix getcwd() failure after unsuccessful rmdir

From: Rui Wang <[email protected]>
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 23:09:59 +0800

commit ce9113bbcbf45a57c082d6603b9a9f342be3ef74 upstream.

ovl_remove_upper() should do d_drop() only after it successfully removes the dir, otherwise a subsequent getcwd() system call will fail, breaking userspace programs.

This is to fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110491
