Subject: ext4/fscrypto: avoid RCU lookup in d_revalidate

From: Jaegeuk Kim <[email protected]>

commit 03a8bb0e53d9562276045bdfcf2b5de2e4cff5a1 upstream.

As Al pointed, d_revalidate should return RCU lookup before using d_inode. This was originally introduced by:
commit 34286d666230 ("fs: rcu-walk aware d_revalidate method").
