CVE-2025-38711

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

smb/server: avoid deadlock when linking with ReplaceIfExists

If smb2_create_link() is called with ReplaceIfExists set and the name

does exist then a deadlock will happen.

ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() will return with success and the parent

directory will be locked. ksmbd_vfs_remove_file() will then remove the

file. ksmbd_vfs_link() will then be called while the parent is still

locked. It will try to lock the same parent and will deadlock.

This patch moves the ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_unlock() call to *before*

ksmbd_vfs_link() and then simplifies the code, removing the file_present

flag variable.
