…kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs fix from Christian Brauner:
 "An openat() call from io_uring triggering an audit call can apparently
  cause the refcount of struct filename to be incremented from multiple
  threads concurrently during async execution, triggering a refcount
  underflow and hitting a BUG_ON(). That bug has been lurking around
  since at least v5.16 apparently.

  Switch to an atomic counter to fix that. The underflow check is
  downgraded from a BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE() but we could easily
  remove that check altogether tbh"
