6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yichong Chen <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 83e98dbf19ab64e8528e101e20f8d50e1aaa68a8 ]

fat_scan_logstart() leaves the matching directory entry's buffer head in
sinfo.bh for the caller to release, just like fat_scan().

fat_rebuild_parent() uses the directory entry to rebuild the parent inode
for the nostale_ro NFS export path, but does not release sinfo.bh after a
successful scan.  Release it once fat_build_inode() has consumed the
directory entry data.
