Because 'inode' is being initialised before checking if 'dentry' is negative it looks like an extra iput() on 'inode' may happen since the ihold() is done only if the dentry is *not* negative. In reality this doesn't happen because d_is_negative() is never true if ->d_inode is NULL. This patch only makes the code easier to understand, as I was initially mislead by it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
