vfs: fix d_ancestor() case in d_materialize_unique
In d_materialise_unique() there are 3 subcases to the 'aliased dentry'
case; in two subcases the inode i_lock is properly released but this
does not occur in the -ELOOP subcase.
This seems to have been introduced by commit 1836750115f2 ("fix loop
checks in d_materialise_unique()").

[ Added a comment, and moved the unlock to where we generate the -ELOOP,
which seems to be more natural.
You probably can't actually trigger this without a buggy network file
server - d_materialize_unique() is for finding aliases on non-local
filesystems, and the d_ancestor() case is for a hardlinked directory
loop.
But we should be robust in the case of such buggy servers anyway. ]
