Subject[PATCH] ovl: fix getcwd() failure after unsuccessful rmdir
Date
ovl_remove_upper() should do d_drop() only after it successfully
removes the dir, otherwise a subsequent getcwd() system call will
fail, breaking userspace programs.

This is to fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110491
