Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Avoid double brelse() in udf_rename()
syzbot reported a warning like below [1]:
VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer

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.
