Using igrab() there takes i_lock, which is also acquired with softirqs enabled in process context, triggering lockdep warnings and a potential softirq recursion deadlock. All fserror_report() callers already hold a live reference to the inode, so use ihold() to take a safe reference without grabbing i_lock.
