Shouldn't do.  It should be reasonable to just continue into the rest of the
function - after all, after calling d_drop() we don't have a dentry any
more[*]...

[*] Lack of a dput() not withstanding.

I'm wondering if I actually need to discard the negative dentry I already have
since I then proceed to allocate a new one.
