SubjectMissing patch from stable [3/7]
Hi,

this patch from mainline seems suitable for -stable, but was not proposed
for inclusion. I think we should include it for next review unless the
author disagrees.

Thanks,
Willy

Subject: ecryptfs: clean up (un)lock_parent

dget(dentry->d_parent) --> dget_parent(dentry)

unlock_parent() is racy and unnecessary. Replace single caller with
unlock_dir().

There are several other suspect uses of ->d_parent in ecryptfs...
