              dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock
    
          The __dentry_path locking was changed and the variable error was
          intended to be moved outside of the loop.  Unfortunately the inner
          declaration of error was not removed. Resulting in a version of
          __dentry_path that will never return an error.
    
          Remove the problematic inner declaration of error and allow
          __dentry_path to return errors once again.
