ovl: fix uninitialized pointer read in ovl_lookup_real_one()
One error path can result in release_dentry_name_snapshot() being called before "name" was initialized by take_dentry_name_snapshot(). Fix by moving the release_dentry_name_snapshot() to immediately after the only use. Reported-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
