From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@redhat.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.8-rc1 commit b493ad718b1f0357394d2cdecbf00a44a36fa085 category: bugfix bugzilla: 189667 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- The lock order is incorrect between denty and its parent, we should always make sure that the parent get the lock first. But since this deadcode is never used and the parent dir will always be set from the callers, let's just remove it.
