Commit c83ed4c9dbb35 ("ubifs: Abort readdir upon error") broke

I'm not sure if it's related to the issue reported by Peter Rosin and
Ralph Sennhauser, but I am still getting a kernel panic using UBIFS
with OverlayFS on Linux v4.9.0-rc2 with this patch applied:

Does reverting c83ed4c9dbb35 help?
And are you 100% sure you applied the fix?
Does the following WARN_ON() trigger?
diff --git a/fs/ubifs/dir.c b/fs/ubifs/dir.c

I double double checked. The fix was applied on the git tree, but the
compiler cache (I am using Buildroot with this option enabled) fooled
me by using an old copy. After disabling the compiler cache I got a
fixed build of the kernel. The panic is gone! Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know.
Let's get this fix into -rc3 then. :-)
