ext4: use dget_parent() in ext4_file_open()
commit 9dd78d8c upstream. In f_op->open() lock on parent is not held, so there's no guarantee that parent dentry won't go away at any time. Even after this patch there's no guarantee that 'dir' will stay the parent of 'inode', but at least it won't be freed while being used.
