Amir Goldstein 5463cfd833 fsnotify: fix fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems
commit 29044dae2e upstream.

Commit 49246466a9 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of
d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify
will have access to a positive dentry.

This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry
is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event.

To fix the regression in pseudo filesystems, convert d_delete() calls
to d_drop() (see commit 46c46f8df9 ("devpts_pty_kill(): don't bother
with d_delete()") and move the fsnotify hook after d_drop().

Add a missing fsnotify_unlink() hook in nfsdfs that was found during
the audit of fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems.

Note that the fsnotify hooks in simple_recursive_removal() follow
d_invalidate(), so they require no change.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
