vfs: fix race in rcu lookup of pruned dentry

Don't update *inode in __follow_mount_rcu() until we'd verified that
there is mountpoint there.  Kudos to Hugh Dickins for catching that
one in the first place and eventually figuring out the solution (and
catching a braino in the earlier version of patch).
