In0ee50b4753("namei: change filename_parentat() calling conventions"), filename_parentat() was made to always call putname() on the filename before returning, and kern_path_locked() was migrated to this calling convention. However, kern_path_locked() uses the "last" parameter to lookup and potentially create a new dentry. The last parameter contains the last component of the path and points within the filename, which was recently freed at the end of filename_parentat(). Thus, when kern_path_locked() calls __lookup_hash(), it is using the filename after it has already been freed. In other words, these calling conventions had been wrong for the only remaining caller of filename_parentat(). Everything else is using __filename_parentat(), which does not drop the reference; so should kern_path_locked(). Switch kern_path_locked() to use of __filename_parentat() and move getting/dropping struct filename into wrapper. Remove filename_parentat(), now that we have no remaining callers.

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.
