commit: 7f6c7e62fcc123e6bd9206da99a2163fe3facc31
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszer...@suse.cz>
Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 13:56:34 +0100
Subject: vfs: fix return value from do_last()
complete_walk() returns either ECHILD or ESTALE. do_last() turns this into
ECHILD unconditionally. If not in RCU mode, this error will reach userspace
which is complete nonsense.
