[PATCH] fs: Eliminate a local variable to make the code more clear

From: Hao Lee
Date: Wed Jul 29 2020 - 11:21:33 EST


The dentry local variable is introduced in 'commit 84d17192d2afd ("get
rid of full-hash scan on detaching vfsmounts")' to reduce the length of
some long statements for example
mutex_lock(&path->dentry->d_inode->i_mutex). We have already used
inode_lock(dentry->d_inode) to do the same thing now, and its length is
acceptable. Furthermore, it seems not concise that assign path->dentry
to local variable dentry in the statement before goto. So, this function
would be more clear if we eliminate the local variable dentry.

The function logic is not changed.
