commit 277627b431a0a6401635c416a21b2a0f77a77347 upstream.
If the call of ksmbd_vfs_lock_parent() fails, we drop the parent_path references and return an error. We need to drop the write access we just got on parent_path->mnt before we drop the mount reference - callers assume that ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() returns with mount write access grabbed if and only if it has returned 0.
