Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix refcount leak in exfat_find
Fix refcount leaks in `exfat_find` related to `exfat_get_dentry_set`.
Function `exfat_get_dentry_set` would increase the reference counter of
`es->bh` on success. Therefore, `exfat_put_dentry_set` must be called
after `exfat_get_dentry_set` to ensure refcount consistency. This patch
relocate two checks to avoid possible leaks.
