ovl: make ovl_create_real() cope with vfs_mkdir() safely
vfs_mkdir() may succeed and leave the dentry passed to it unhashed and negative. ovl_create_real() is the last caller breaking when that happens. [amir: split re-factoring of ovl_create_temp() to prep patch add comment about unhashed dir after mkdir add pr_warn() if mkdir succeeds and lookup fails] Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
