Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

udf: Avoid double brelse() in udf_rename()

syzbot reported a warning like below [1]:

The cause of the issue is that brelse() is called on both ofibh.sbh and ofibh.ebh by udf_find_entry() when it returns NULL. However, brelse() is called by udf_rename(), too. So, b_count on buffer_head becomes unbalanced.

This patch fixes the issue by not calling brelse() by udf_rename() when udf_find_entry() returns NULL.
