cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file()
A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent:

            P1             |             P2
-----------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_lookup_cookie
  cachefiles_look_up_object
    lookup_one_positive_unlocked
     // get dentry
                            cachefiles_cull
                              inode->i_flags |= S_KERNEL_FILE;
    cachefiles_open_file
      cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
        __cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
          can_use = false
          if (!(inode->i_flags & S_KERNEL_FILE))
            can_use = true
	  return false
        return false
        // Returns an error but doesn't put dentry

After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder
is umounted:

==================================================================

==================================================================

Whether cachefiles_open_file() returns true or false, the reference count
obtained by lookup_positive_unlocked() in cachefiles_look_up_object()
should be released.

Therefore release that reference count in cachefiles_look_up_object() to
fix the above issue and simplify the code.

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 reStructuredText 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.
