When commit d3556babd7fa ("ocfs2: fix d_splice_alias() return code checking") was merged into v3.18-rc3, d_splice_alias() was returning one of a valid dentry, NULL or an ERR_PTR. When commit b5ae6b15bd73 ("merge d_materialise_unique() into d_splice_alias()") was merged into v3.19-rc1, d_splice_alias() started returning -ELOOP as one of ERR_PTR values. Now, when syzkaller mounts a crafted ocfs2 filesystem image that hits d_splice_alias() == -ELOOP case from ocfs2_lookup(), ocfs2_lookup() fails to handle -ELOOP case and generic_shutdown_super() hits "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount" message. Instead of calling ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() or ocfs2_dentry_attach_gen() when d_splice_alias() returned an ERR_PTR value, change ocfs2_lookup() to bail out immediately. Also, ocfs2_lookup() needs to call dupt() when ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() returned an ERR_PTR value.
