ovl: fix uninitialized pointer read in ovl_lookup_real_one()

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 580c610429 ]

One error path can result in release_dentry_name_snapshot() being called
before "name" was initialized by take_dentry_name_snapshot().

Fix by moving the release_dentry_name_snapshot() to immediately after the
only use.
