fix wrong iput on d_inode introduced by e6bc45d65d
Git bisection shows that commit e6bc45d65df8599fdbae73be9cec4ceed274db53 causes

kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1368!

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.
The buggy part of the patch is this:
struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
- if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
- goto slashes;
inode = dentry->d_inode;
- if (inode)
- ihold(inode);
+ if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+ goto slashes;
+ ihold(inode)
...
if (inode)
iput(inode); /* truncate the inode here */
If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.
Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.
