[ Upstream commit d5fc1400a34b4ea5e8f2ce296ea12bf8c8421694 ]
If smb2_create_link() is called with ReplaceIfExists set and the name does exist then a deadlock will happen.
ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() will return with success and the parent directory will be locked. ksmbd_vfs_remove_file() will then remove the file. ksmbd_vfs_link() will then be called while the parent is still locked. It will try to lock the same parent and will deadlock.
This patch moves the ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_unlock() call to *before* ksmbd_vfs_link() and then simplifies the code, removing the file_present flag variable.
