cifs: Do not lookup hashed negative dentry in cifs_atomic_open
We do not need to lookup a hashed negative directory since we have already revalidated it before and have found it to be fine. This also prevents a crash in cifs_lookup() when it attempts to rehash the already hashed negative lookup dentry. The patch has been tested using the reproducer at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=867344#c28 Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # 3.6.x Reported-by: Vit Zahradka <vit.zahradka@tiscali.cz> Signed-off-by: Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com>
