commit ab79efab0a0ba01a74df782eb7fa44b044dae8b5 upstream.

In ovl_copy_up_locked(), newdentry is leaked if the function exits through
out_cleanup as this just to out after calling ovl_cleanup() - which doesn't
actually release the ref on newdentry.

The out_cleanup segment should instead exit through out2 as certainly
newdentry leaks - and possibly upper does also, though this isn't caught
given the catch of newdentry.

Without this fix, something like the following is seen:

BUG: Dentry ffff880023e9eb20{i=f861,n=#ffff880023e82d90} still in use (1) [unmount of tmpfs tmpfs]
BUG: Dentry ffff880023ece640{i=0,n=bigfile}  still in use (1) [unmount of tmpfs tmpfs]

when unmounting the upper layer after an error occurred in copyup.

An error can be induced by creating a big file in a lower layer with
something like:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/lower/a/bigfile bs=65536 count=1 seek=$((0xf000))

to create a large file (4.1G).  Overlay an upper layer that is too small
(on tmpfs might do) and then induce a copy up by opening it writably.
