This is bollocks. First and foremost, d_splice_alias() *does* iput() on
failure, so you've got double-put there. What's more
* d_splice_alias(ERR_PTR(err), dentry) return err
* d_splice_alias(NULL, dentry) is equivalent to d_add(dentry, NULL) and returns NULL

IOW, all that boilerplate could be replaced with one line:

return d_splice_alias(dir_search(dir, &dentry->d_name, fnd), dentry);
