Subject: mnt: Fix the error check in __detach_mounts
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f53e57975151f54ad8caa1b0ac8a78091cd5700a;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mnt: Fix the error check in __detach_mounts

lookup_mountpoint can return either NULL or an error value.
Update the test in __detach_mounts to test for an error value
to avoid pathological cases causing a NULL pointer dereferences.

The callers of __detach_mounts should prevent it from ever being
called on an unlinked dentry but don't take any chances.
