3.19.8-ckt16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding at redhat.com>

commit d9dfd8d741683347ee159d25f5b50c346a0df557 upstream.

In the case where d_add_unique() finds an appropriate alias to use it will
have already incremented the reference count.  An additional dget() to swap
the open context's dentry is unnecessary and will leak a reference.
