> In ovl_copy_up_locked(), newdentry is leaked if the function exits through
> out_cleanup as this just to out after calling ovl_cleanup() - which doesn't
> actually release the ref on newdentry.
>
> The out_cleanup segment should instead exit through out2 as certainly
> newdentry leaks - and possibly upper does also, though this isn't caught
> given the catch of newdentry.

> Without this fix, something like the following is seen:

> BUG: Dentry ffff880023e9eb20{i=f861,n=#ffff880023e82d90} still in use (1) [unmount of tmpfs tmpfs]
> BUG: Dentry ffff880023ece640{i=0,n=bigfile} still in use (1) [unmount of tmpfs tmpfs]

> An error can be induced by creating a big file in a lower layer with
