4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
commit b403f0e37a11f84f7ceaf40b0075499e5bcfd220 upstream.
v9fs may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry can lead to a crash. In this case it's a NULL pointer dereference in p9_fid_create().
Fix by replacing direct access of file->f_path.dentry with the file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.
