How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 perf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ceph: fix deadlock or deadcode of misusing dget()

The lock order is incorrect between denty and its parent, we should always make sure that the parent get the lock first.

But since this deadcode is never used and the parent dir will always be set from the callers, let's just remove it.
