Yeah, it's actually

Fixes: 73819e26c0f0 ("ovl: get rid of redundant members in struct ovl_fs")

So I'll just fold your patch. There's still a change in the loop
count for later errors, but that's okay, since
ovl_lower_dir()/ovl_mount_dir_noesc() use the path_put_init() variant.
Actually ovl_lower_dir() can get rid of that path_put_init()
completely, since now the only caller will take care of that...

Thanks for reporting!
