fs: fix do_last error case when need_reval_dot
When open(2) without O_DIRECTORY opens an existing dir, it should return EISDIR. In do_last(), the variable 'error' is initialized EISDIR, but it is changed by d_revalidate() which returns any positive to represent 'the target dir is valid.' Should we keep and return the initialized 'error' in this case. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
