ext4: use dget_parent() in ext4_file_open()

Browse Source 
In f_op->open() lock on parent is not held, so there's no guarantee that
parent dentry won't go away at any time.

Even after this patch there's no guarantee that 'dir' will stay the parent
of 'inode', but at least it won't be freed while being used.
